In the Beginning: God and the Origin of Everything

The opening verse of Genesis isn’t just ancient poetry—it’s a declaration of ultimate reality: “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” This single verse answers humanity’s oldest questions—where did everything come from, why does it exist, and who stands behind it all?
Modern cosmology affirms the universe had a beginning. Anything that begins must have a cause—and Scripture reveals that cause as a personal, eternal, intelligent Creator. Light appears before the sun, moon, and stars—showing that God Himself is the source of light and order. The Word spoke, and energy obeyed. While theories like the Big Bang describe the mechanism, Scripture reveals the reason—love, purpose, and divine intent. Genesis doesn’t conflict with science; it gives science meaning.
