Where did matter come from? This is Ken Ham, president of the ministry building a full-size ark near Cincinnati. During the Q&A time of my debate with Bill Nye, the science guy, someone asked him where matter came from. He had to answer, it's a great mystery. You see, the Big Bang doesn't actually explain the origin of the universe. It's only a story about what supposedly happened afterward. It can't explain where matter came from. Now, there's a scientific law that states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed. So how could matter be created naturalistically out of nothing? Now to those who hold to the Big Bang, the origin of matter might be a mystery. But as I told Bill Nye, there is a book, and it tells us exactly where matter came from. Matter was created from nothing by the all-powerful God. Discover more problems with the Big Bang at AnswersInGenesis.org.
