Where did it start?

There are some people who believe the physical universe that we know just appeared by magic. It wasn’t, and then it was. They believe life just magically happened from two pieces of dust that rubbed together and began to reproduce. Nothing about the theory of evolution has ever been confirmed by science in any way, shape, or form. But there are many who still believe this impossible theory.

But most of the world looks around and sees the beauty and majesty and natural order of things in the universe and cannot deny that there is some thing, or some power, that has control over the universe. If it were not so then everything would be self-destructive and unsustainable. Many people who realize this are seeking to know what that force is and many other theories have been rendered.

There scripture says it was planned and orchestrated by a great and powerful entity that says, “I AM”.

What is outer space?

That is the first question we need to solve. If you took away all the physical matter like stars, planets, comets, asteroids, and man-made junk from space what would be left?

The answer is obviously…NOTHING. There is nothing there. No Air. No light. No heat. No time. Nothing. Between the objects in space there is nothing. But still we know it is real because we can fly spacecraft through it and do space walks in it. There is nothing there but it’s real. That realm of our creator is real, but then he created the physical things in it. The vastness of that realm is beyond human comprehension. We only know what we can see, touch, and hear…which are all physical things. But still we know space is real.

The air we breath is composed of matter. It is mostly oxygen and nitrogen which are compounds of physical matter that are warmed by the Sun and the air acts like a blanket around our planet blocking the Sun’s rays in the daytime and holding in the heat at night. Our light and heat come from our Sun, and the stars are distant burning spheres like our Sun. The heat from these stars does not warm space. The heat only warms the physical object that their light hits.

We base time on the movement of these physical objects. Time is a relative term, meaning that it has to be connected to something. One earth day is one rotation of our planet. One Earth year is the relationship between the Sun and how long it takes the earth to spin once around it. A car traveling 30 km/hr on the road is going about 1000 km/hr through space. It’s a relationship between physical objects.

But there is no way to measure time in nothingness. Time travel is only possible in science fiction movies. Going back in time is an interesting concept but totally ridiculous if you accept that the physical universe actually is real and space is real. And nowhere in all of scripture is there any evidence to support past or future time travel. Time always moves forward and the rate it moves forward is the only thing that changes.

Jesus told us that the physical universe we live in is not the only place. We know there is a special place where all the angels gather to receive instruction and praise the Creator. Jesus said there are many places in the realm of his father and he is going to prepare a new earth and universe for us and come back to get us. It was revealed to John that this earth and universe we live in today will cease to exist someday and a new physical earth and universe will be our home forever. We call that Paradise. 

The scriptures tell us that the Creator has a specific time frame worked out for Earth and our solar system based on the cycles of our planet’s rotation around the Sun. What we call a day is one spin of Earth on its axis. Many places in scripture make it clear that what we call a year our Creator calls a day.  The Creator considers one spin of Earth around the Sun as a day. And day can be a 1000 years.

When the Creator decided to create a physical dimension in this nothingness it was for only one reason. He wanted a physical family to love and hold and share with. If he wanted a spiritual family he could have made us like angels and not had to go through all the drama.

The creation of the physical universe we live in began with the creation of a physical human form that the Almighty Creator of all things would use to physically communicate with his physical family and children. According to John 1 all things were created through and by the physical form that Jehovah created for himself.

What is different is that in the spiritual realm there is no family. The angels and other spiritual beings were created as eternal servant creatures that dwell in the space of our Creators realm…a spiritual dimension if you want to call it that. These beings are not physical but can take on a physical appearance when needed. Their purpose was to serve their master and do their assigned duties…forever…or else suffer for eternity in the Lake of Fire.

The human race was never created to exist in this spiritual realm of the Creator. From scripture we learn that these spiritual beings, we call angels, are also required to serve the children and family of the Creator. That fact is what started the conflict with Satan and 1/3 of the angels. They refused to serve the children of the Creator.

In the gospel of John we learn that all things were created for, and through, the physical person of the Creator that he was going to use so he could physically live with his children. Who can say how much “earth time” the Creator used to create our physical universe and our world? How long did the galaxies of stars in space swirl about before the Creator chose the planet Earth to be the place he would call home for his family? Does it matter? According to the scriptures recorded in Genesis chapter 1…the heavens and earth were created before the first day occured.

We know our Sun was dark until the Creator lit it up. Were the other stars shining long before he did that? We can accept that as being absolutely plausible. Our star, the Sun, is considered to be a young star. I have a theory that Black Holes are just stars that were never lit. How about that for a wrench in the astrologer’s gears? The creation story for mankind begins with the Earth being a cold dark formless mass covered by water. When the time was right it that was chosen by the Creator to be a place where life could exist and grow. All he had to do was light up this dark star we call the Sun to get the process started.

The Hebrew word we translate as “day” signifies a period of “activity”. The Hebrew word we call “night” signifies “rolling up” like a finished activity. We still use the word “day” in the same way. Did you ever say, “back in the day…”? It always amazes me how folks can be so rigid in there traditions and beliefs that they miss all the facts. How can anyone possibly claim that the Creator’s day was 24 Earth hours? It could be in the blink of an eye or a million years from our perspective.

Consider this:

On the sixth day animals were created, a garden was created to be his dwelling place, the animals were all named by Adam, he got a wife, and they learned how to work in the garden. All in 24 earth hours?

Please don’t get hung up on this “how-long-was-a-day” issue and miss the whole reason why you exist in the first place…because the Creator wants to share it all with his children.

You have to read The Story to know what really happened.
