"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." (Genesis 1:1, the first verse in the Bible). Genesis 1 goes on to list and identify many of the kinds of things our world: light, water, sky, ground, plants, sun, moon, stars, animals, birds, fish, livestock, and humans. All these categories of things are creatures: they are stated to have been created by God, that is, given the status of reality. The animals and man have life in themselves (v. 1:30). This is a major theological point that is not to be missed. There are alternative religious views that reject the reality of these ordinary things. The Bible does not. These kinds of things are given full status as real vis-a-vis God himself. (Note also that there are other kinds of real things that are not mentioned here, such as other spiritual powers).
"God created all things, both visible and invisible, by his co-eternal Word, and preserves them by his co-eternal spirit, as David testified when he said: "By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and all their host by the breath of his mouth." (Psalm 33:6)." (Second Helvetic Confession of 1566, Chapter 7). (Of course, David used anthropomorphic language to refer to God, but the point is that the origin of all things is God alone.)
