Hebrews 11:3

[mellontes]

For those who attach Hebrews 11:3 with that of Genesis 1, I wonder if you have noticed the description of the worlds that were framed:

Hebrews 11:3 - Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

Did you catch that? The things which are seen (by faith) were NOT, I repeat NOT, made of things which do appear (like water and firmanent, for example)!

I think that this is saying that visible things cannot make visible things. In otherwords it takes a creator who is invisible (God) to create those things we see. The faith part is that we believe God did it and by Him just speaking it into existence.
