Most scientists accept the Big Bang theory, which tells us the universe had a beginning. This is consistent with the biblical account of creation. If the universe had a starting point it’s not eternal. Athiests believe the universe came from nothing on its own which is not possible. Christians believe there was a “beginner” to the universe, namely God. Scripture confirms God made the universe from nothing.
Psalm 19:1 – The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork.
Psalm 8:3-4 – When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained, what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him.
If you look at the heavens and the diversity of life on earth it’s obvious the universe has a highly complex design that cannot possibly have resulted from any random processes and chance. The universe isn’t old enough for that to be possible. Therefore, the universe had a Designer, who we Christians know as Jehovah.
Isaiah 44:24 – This is what the Lord says – your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb: I am the Lord, who has made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who spread out the earth by Myself.
Psalm 102:25-27 – In the beginning You laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands, they will perish, but You remain; they will all wear out like a garment, like clothing You will change them and they will be discarded. But You remain the same, and Your years will never end.
