Answer: There are a number of key verses which explain the Christian biblical view of the formation of the world.
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."
John 1:3 " All things were made by Him(that is Jesus Christ); and without Him was not anything made that was made."
In theological terms this is what has been termed creation ex nihilo, or creation from nothing. The word of a God, who, being almighty, even His very words have a creative and powerful force to bring into existence things that previously did not exist.
Of course, the most familiar verses are those from Genesis 1 :1-13 where the formation of the world is described. Four times in these verses it is stated "And God said...." and the verses from Hebrews and John are reallly a commentary and further explanation of what happenned in the beginning.
Jeremiah 11 : 12-13a is also relevant here:
He has made the earth by His power, He has established the world by His wisdom, and has stretched out the heavens by His discretion. When He utters His voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens....
Once again there is mention of God speaking things into existence.
