verse out of nothing and this is surely evidence of willful Creation.
Regarding this fact, some materialist astronomers and physicists have tried
to advance alternative explanations to oppose this reality. Mention has al-
ready been made of the steady state theory and it was pointed out it was

from nothingness", despite all the evidence to the contrary in an attempt to
shore up their philosophy.
There are also a number of models that have been advanced by mate-
