It simply comes down to believing the Word of God. Many believe in a god or even believe in the existence of our God the Father, but faith comes by actually believing what God has said (taking God at His Word). Rom 10:17 "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Gal 3:6 "Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness." Heb 11:6 "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." Every religion, with the exception of Old Testament Judaism, is the creation of man, and all of which came after the first writings of Moses. All religion focuses on what man does for their god's approval. Christianity however is a faith that comes by belief in the written Word of God, and is about what God has done for man through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. Although physically written by men, God's Word (the holy Bible) came by inspiration of the holy Spirit through these men. The whole premise of God requiring faith is to believe Him through His Word without the requirement of physical proof. It is therefore not 'physically' possible to 'prove' that Jesus Christ was the creator of the universe. Believers simply believe what God has stated in His Word. 1 Cor 1:18-25 "For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. 25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men." We take what has been presented before us and either believe it or we do not. Every religion is peppered with contradictions, but how is it possible that the holy Bible, being written over the course of thousands of years and by numerous authors, has ZERO contradiction when "rightly divided" (2 Tim 2:15)? How also is it possible that anything could come to existence from nothing without the aid of an omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent being? It is easier to prove that God the Creator does exist than to prove that He does not. If it is our holy Bible that is without flaw then it is by Jesus Christ that all things were created: Eph 3:9 "And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:"

It is confusing with all different religions claiming their God created the universe and the earth included. The Bible however provides several scientifically verifiable clues that Jesus Christ is the creator of our universe. The bible states: 1. Jesus Christ is the creator (John 1:1-10; Coll 1:16; Heb 1:2,3). 2. Jesus claimed to be God and that blasphemy sealed His crucifixion (Luke 22:67-71; Mark 14: 61-64). 3. That God created one man and woman about 6 thousand years ago and they disobeyed God thereby leading to a world of death and suffering (Gen 1-3). Mitochondrial and Y-chromosome mutatational changes confirm a 6 thousand year since creation and are inconsistent with 100,000 years since creation as asserted by secularists. 4. There was a worldwide flood 4 thousand years ago. The fossil record and geomorphology of the earth confirms this massive catastrophic event. Carbon14 dating confirmed that it occurred thousands of years ago and not millions as the secularists claim. More evidence that Christ is the creator can be found in creation.com. The biblical evidence for Christ our creator and redeemer is overwhelming.
