God Made a Perfect World

Let’s start with the fact that God is the Creator, the architect and designer of everything, from supernovas to butterfly wings.

How long did it take God to perform His mighty miracle of creation?

“By the word of the Lord were the heavens made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth. . . . For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.”
— Psalm 33:6-9. (Unless otherwise noted, all Scriptural texts in the DISCOVER guides are from the New International Version of the Bible [NIV].)

God has only to speak, and the electrons, protons, and neutrons scurry off to obey His will. He obviously doesn’t need long ages of time to accomplish His purposes. We limit His power if we say that God requires millions of years to bring about the evolution of the world or its creatures. He can take time if He chooses, or He can dispense with it altogether.
