Genesis in Space and Time

Everything which has being, except God himself, rests upon the fact that God willed and brought it into creation.

“By thy will they were created, and have their being!” This is the Christian cosmogony.

prior to the creation of all else, there is love and communication. This means that love and communication are intrinsic. And hence, when modern man screams for love and communication (as he so frequently does), Christians have an answer: There is value to love and value to communication because it is rooted into what intrinsically always has been.

Something was there before creation. God was there; love and communication were there; and therefore, prior even to Genesis 1:1, love and communication are intrinsic to what always has been.

Love and thought and communication existed prior to the creation of the heavens and the earth

The universe had a personal beginning–a personal beginning on the high order of the Trinity

The assumption of an impersonal beginning can never adequately explain the personal beings we see around us, and when men try to explain man on the basis of an original impersonal, man soon disappears.

if we begin with an impersonal universe, there is no explanation of personality

we assert the existence of the impersonal as the beginning of the universe, we simply have no explanation for this kind of situation.

What is there has form.
