I was meditating on this and i found it just incredible to know that God spoke the universe into existence. But I went even deeper. I sort of went into how he actually may've done it. Like what tongue was he speaking in. Or what gestures did he make. He probably used a tongue that was just unimaginably astounding. Like this big hum of enormously loud sounds, heard simultaneously through every inch of space in space. Ridiculously louds galactic sounds that were beyond words and letters and math and space and time. Sounds that are just impossibly complicated and sophisticated to an incalculable degree, to understand with the human ear. And doing this while creating, galaxies, the universe. Just by words.
Wow.

If that's what you prefer. In fact you can look at it that way too. It was probably a galactic symphony that would've been way too grand too understand and trillions upon trillions of light years ahead of, or way beyond, the limits of human imagination not even tapped into yet.

I think it's more sensible to believe that before the universe there was nothingness. Meaning nothing there. Not meaning an empty space. There was just nothing there, no space, no time, it was all taken up by God, perhaps. But note that there's a difference in between nothingness and emptiness. There wasn't anything empty to fill in. There was just ...nothing.
Or God was in heaven relaxing and came up with the idea to make this something meaning the elements, space, time, math, us, and create unexplainable things in it and with it.

Looking at you.
Re: Re: Re: God Spoke the Universe into Existance..
Nothingness dose not exist, and there is nothing outside of the universe. Nothingness is full, and all within nothingness is the same; nothingness. You cannot have sound, and with no sound, there is no word.
No they do not. In fact the beginning of Genesis 2 clarifies Genesis 1 as being the order when it says in verse 1 and 2:
"Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the sixth day (ie. the day man was created) God ended His work which He had made; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made."
Also notice that according to Genesis 2:5-6 the seas (including the sea creatures) precede man and that plants also precede man. Ultimately Genesis 2 never indicates that it is chronolgical sequence whereas Genesis 1 does.
