30. God’s Providence: He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands

Episode Summary

Why does the universe continue to exist instead of vanishing into nothingness? It might seem like "it just has to" keep existing, but there's certainly no scientific principle that says it must do so... we just take that fact for granted.

According to the Bible, the heavens, with all their hosts, the and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them are preserved by God so that they continue to exist in a orderly way. Not only does this make scientific study possible, but it is the foundation for understanding that all things fall within God's control and work together to achieve God's purposes.
