 There is a Christian approach, and that is this, that the sovereign God of this universe created this world. From nothing he created it. He is above it, he's beyond it. He's not part of it as far as being something, but he is above it, he's beyond it. He is also still in control of it, and he keeps it together. And he's the one, the Bible says, who keeps things existing in their proper order and so forth.
