If God spoke the universe into existence, doesn't that mean the universe is actually the word of God? Wouldn't the universe, with all it's cosmological and geological evidence, be more so the word of God than the bible? The bible, and all of it's editions, revisions, versions, and copies, are still just a minuscule fraction of the universe itself. Why do creationists read and believe mere printed words relayed by man over the actual thing God spoke into existence? If one actually believes God spoke the universe into existence, then how is the universe not literally the word of God?
If one wants to learn about the universe, why wouldn't one look at the universe to do so?
This ought to be a pretty straightforward question, so please do your best to give a straight forward answer using your own words. No bible quotes (obviously). Try not to reference the bible to explain why the bible is more reliable (for hopefully obvious reasons). And also, no Last Tuesdayism (dad).
