Genesis Chapter 1, Verse 1

Genesis

Chapter 1:

Verse 1:

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Comments:

I do believe that God created the heaven and the earth. I believe in a God who can do so in accordance with and because of a knowledge of the natural laws of physics and the universe that so far surpasses our current understanding that we are not able to explain it, and perhaps may never be able to do so fully in the context of our present “reality” or frame of reference in the dimensions we finite human beings find ourselves living in.

You may not believe all the same things as I do about God. However, if you believe in a higher power that can be called “God” and which is the source of everything, or who can be said to have created all life as we know it and the known universe; whether you believe that higher power is a person or persons, a spirit or spirits, an ethereal all-permeating force, or even (as some futurists have speculated) an infinitely advanced race of beings whose knowledge allows them to transcend the known universe and limitations of ordinary finite mortals and who formed, guided, or shaped us into the sentient beings we are now and more or less also formed the reality we know or shaped the current universe as we know it through the vast knowledge of physics that they have… regardless of the type of God you believe in, if you believe in a higher power that can be referred to as “God” and credited with creating the heavens and the earth, then you and I have at least that much in common to begin with.
