The writer of Hebrews describes the creation of the universe as thermodynamically balanced. Apparently God created the universe from things which are invisible. We (that's me and the Holy spirit) propose atoms and molecules.
Ex Nihilo vs. Ex Abyssi
There was Never, Ever, Nothing
As strange as it may sound we have to overcome the ridiculous notion that God created the universe from nothing. Invisible isn't nothing it's unseen, like the air we breath. It's made of atoms and molecules like everything else.
Theory is the Scientific Word for Faith
Theory is the scientific word for faith. That's going to freak a lot of people out but it's a conclusion which has been deduced. That means it's a logically certain conclusion.
Math is the Language of Faith
The story of Babylon (Babel) shows us that having a universal language is dangerous. It gives us the power to do things which would be otherwise impossible. Guess what? Math is a universal language. Go figure.
Ex nihilo #EpicFail
If we take our outreach evangelism back to creation we're going to have to deal with the odd notion that God created the universe from nothing. It's referred to as Ex nihilo. It's neither Biblical nor is it physically possible.

The existence of the deep means that the process of creation does not require God to create anything from nothing. The first law of thermodynamics is not broken in the Biblical account of creation.

It may sound odd to hear this, but a conclusion which we deduce by resolving the Holy Trinity with particle physics is that... ... there was never, ever, nothing.
