But they do not want to remember what happened long ago. By the word of God heaven was made, and the earth was made from water and with water.
Then God said, “Let there be something to divide the water in two.”
Then God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered together so the dry land will appear.” And it happened.
He spread out the earth on the seas. His love continues forever.
He built it on the waters and set it on the rivers.
The sky was made at the Lord’s command. By the breath from his mouth, he made all the stars.
It won’t do a fool any good to try to buy wisdom, because he doesn’t have the ability to be wise.
People did not think it was important to have a true knowledge of God. So God left them and allowed them to have their own worthless thinking and to do things they should not do.
He was there before anything was made, and all things continue because of him.
It is by faith we understand that the whole world was made by God’s command so what we see was made by something that cannot be seen.
