The Why, How, and Who of Creation: Science vs. Faith

Unshaken Daily Devotional #9 - The Why, How, and Who of Creation
We often get lost in the weeds asking "How" God created the earth—geologically or astronomically. But when Moses asked that very question, God’s answer was a person. Discover why the "How" of creation is actually a "Who."

Summary: In this concluding study of Moses 1 (verses 24–42), Jared Halverson explores what happens after we pass our spiritual tests. Once Moses successfully resists the adversary, he is "filled with the Holy Ghost" and receives a second, even more expansive vision of God's workmanship.

We dive into the profound theological shifts in this text:
The Theological HOW: Why God points to the "Only Begotten" as the means of all creation. Just like the blind man in the New Testament or Enos in the Book of Mormon, the logistical "how" matters less than the relational "Who."

Worlds Without Number: Understanding God’s infinite capacity as a "Creator and Exalter," while recognizing His "intimate" focus on this specific earth and its inhabitants.

The God of the Exodus: How God introduces Himself as a veteran of deliverance—reminding Moses (and us) that "this isn't My first trek."

Moses 1:39: A final look at God's Work and Glory. Creating worlds isn't just what He does; it's who He is.
