Which came first?

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” Genesis 1:1

What beginning? In this reference, there was already a God.

We now know (as of 2013) that the universe is flat with only a 0.4% margin of error. This means it is likely infinite in extent. Brian Cox – Is the Universe Infinite? YouTube 5 Feb. 2022, “We know, or strongly suspect the universe is much bigger than the piece we can see- we have good reason to think that is the case. Whether it is infinite is another question. Can we picture infinity, well no one can picture infinity.”

Brian Cox continues, “We have some theories that the universe was in existence before [inflation] … that means that actually the universe could have always been there – eternal… I talk to some people and they get a bit upset about that. Some people would rather it had a beginning. The idea that it might be around forever is more frightening somehow than the fact it began. It is interesting how some people’s minds work.”

So which came first in infinity – the Creator or the Creation? In infinity there is no beginning or end and thus no first and last. I would suggest our Creator has always existed; just as we have always existed in some form or another. I find it easier to believe the universe has always existed than to believe it exploded out of nothing.

Some interesting clues in scripture about DARK ENERGY

What if dark energy space is the origin of everything?

According to NASA Science the Universe’s building blocks are 68% dark energy, 27% dark matter, and 5% normal visible matter. What if this 100% of everything in the Universe is organized originally from dark energy? It is only called dark because we cannot see it.

The Quanta Magazine, which in 2020 received a National Magazine Award for General Excellence from the American Society of Editors for tackling tough topics in science and math in a language that is accessible to the lay reader, wrote the following: “While no single idea is likely to explain everything we hope to know about the cosmos, . . . the dark dimension scenario offers a specific recipe for dark matter, and suggests an intimate connection between dark matter and dark energy.”

Just imagine if we discover proof of a connection. If NASA Science Universe’s building blocks is suggesting everything is made of dark energy, dark matter, and normal matter, doesn’t it make sense they came from the same source. Science suggests everything is made from quanta of intelligent vibrating strings. Quantum physics reveals that everything is made out of energy, perhaps from dark energy of vibrating intelligent strings.

Where Science and Scripture Agree

Some people are afraid of religious doctrine, but dark energy could be the intelligent vibrating strings of space that everything is made of, Abraham 3:22, “Now the Lord had shown unto me, Abraham, the intelligences that were organized before the world was…” Some of the dark energy intelligences could be organized by a Creator into spiritual dark matter and some of the dark matter organized into temporary physical matter. Matthew 26:41, “Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” James 2:26, “For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.”
