The BIG Picture (Q&A)

The Bible does not attempt to prove that there is a God. The first verse in the Bible reads as follows:  "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth" (Genesis 1:1) .

Man was able to look at the mountains and seas, nature, the sunsets, and the stars at night. All creation would testify to the glory and existence of God. Romans 1 tells us the following, Rom.1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible t...
