Christians believe that, according to Genesis, the whole universe is created out of nothing and God speaks it into being; He says, and it is.
Genesis 1:1-3 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light.
Scientists believe that the world was created in the 'Big bang' between 15 and 18 billion years ago. The universe comes from nothing, but began as an infinite point, exploding outwards. They believe that is is continuously expanding, creating gasses that produce stars, inside which all other materials are formed. When stars become old, some explode and send out material that ultimately forms all planets.
