3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.
The physical universe was created by God, at His command. It was not made out of anything visible, but rather out of the invisible - God's power. Believers accept this by faith. We did not see it. But we know it because God said in His Word that it is true.
According to MacArthur,
we've seen a definition of faith, it gives a present reality to a future fact, it furnishes enough conviction so that you bet your life on it, it secures the blessing and the approval of God and it enables you to understand what the philosophers and scientists of the world cannot understand, it enables you to perceive the things that are not open to the senses.
Creation truly is above the logic of man to understand. We simply can't understand or explain it logically beyond a shadow of a doubt.
It takes faith to accept evolution, it takes faith to accept creation. But creation is God's account and therefore, I believe what He said, and accept it by faith.
