4The first book of the Bible is Genesis – it means the beginning of all – universe, earth, vegetation, animals, man, family, work and society. Hebrew title was – Bereshith – In the Beginning. ―In the beginning God created the Heavens and the earth‖. The word used for ―created‖ is the Hebrew word,―bara‘ – which means created out of nothing (Latin ex nihilo). Only God can create out of nothing. God created the beginning of time and then space. This is how Albert Einstein could make an equation of time and space. Spirit of the Lord was moving – making motion. Heaven – The word describes everything God made besides the earth: God made the heavens of the universe.Heavens of the Universe or the matrix of the Universe has Gravity and Light. God, Holy Spirit, Water Gen 1:2The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters. These are the primeval days of God‘s creation. Water is a special creation with a particular molecular structure that helps water to move through all body tissues and also dissolve many substances. When youare older you will understand the chemistry of water and know what a wise and wonderful God we have. Holy Spirit not only moves upon water, He is a person who moves in our heart also. He can move or influence circumstances also. Prayer Creator of the Universe, we give you all the glory and honour only 2 you deserve! We thank you for your amazing marvellous creation and are grateful for your constant movement of hovering over our every darkness, formless and void spaces, recreating and reforming them by the work of your Holy Spirit, that we may have life, life in abundance. Amen. Special After the beginning, there was time, space, matter, and motion. Sir Isaac Newton discovered gravity and laws of motion. He believed in God. Albert Einstein, when asked, ―How did you come to deduce the equations‖, He said, ―I think thoughts after God‖. He also said, ―God does not play dice with the Cosmos‖. What he meant was that Science can study the Universe because it has laws that follow science. Who came first – Science or One who gave Scientific Laws? That is God. The story of Creation was retold to Moses by God and Moses spoke the Hebrew language. It was about 1450 BC that God told the story to Moses and Moses wrote on Papyrus writing material. Papyrus writing material was invented by Egyptians. Once upon a time, Moses and his people Israel, were slaves in Egypt. God brought them out. They had Papyrus material from Egypt. Moses wrote the first five books of the Bible. Moses heard without error and wrote down without error as God gave supernatural ability. This is called Divine Inspiration. 2 Tim 3:16, Psalm 19. The plain meaning of the opening chapters of Genesis can, therefore, be taken as an historical account of what actually happened during the Creation Week, the dispersion at the Tower of Babel.
