A significant tension exists between the modern scientific picture of the universe and the Biblical one.

On the scientific picture, the universe has evolved and continues to develop under the operation of fixed laws and chance.

Christianity is a true story of how the world began, why the world is the way it is, what role humans play in the drama, and how all the plotlines of the story are resolved in the end. In The Story of Reality, best-selling author and host of Stand to Reason Gregory Koukl explains the five words that form the narrative backbone of the Christian story.

John 1:3—“God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him.” The concept that “all things were created through Him” can be understood as Christ being the One through whom the universe was made and the One whom the means of redemption was accomplished.
