COSMOLOGY: THERE WAS NO MATTER
(Matter did not exist!)

“Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.”¹ (KJV, Psalm: 90.2)

Before the beginning (Gn. 1.1) there was no matter as we know today. God had existed from eternity but there was no matter to be formed into the heavens and the earth. So God created the matter that we see today. Before God made our globe, so to speak, and before the creation there was nothing but after a little while we see the Earth and expansion forming. Between the atoms of this newly formed matter and space there is something, especially electromagnetic forces, not nothing.

“Berayshit”, according to my transliteration of the Hebrew: בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית (Unicode/XML Leningrad Codex, Gen. 1.1) ), translates according to my perception, “In a beginning”. Specifically to the first three words, ex nihilo creation-doctrine cannot theoretically exclude linguistic speculation of another or other beginnings, but it does give us a present and spiritually obvious (Rom. 1.19-20), practical meaning concerning physics: time, matter and light according to Heb. 11:3.

“Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.” (Heb. 11.3)

Without space and time, matter cannot exist. Matter and its properties were created, and not from pre-existent matter. There was no such thing.

Note: Even though “Berayshit” (the Hebrew transliteration above) is considered by some well known scholars due to its orthographic form a construct and would be translated differently, nevertheless, according to the Septuagint (before the time of Christ and New Testament) it is orthographed and translated as a noun with a preposition, ἘΝ ἀρχῇ (Brenton Septuagint, Gn. 1.1), which I transliterate, En arkay', and translate, “In a beginning”.

PSYCHOLOGY

Man knows there is God from within his soul (natural revelation) and through writing (Torah—special revelation): The spiritual things he discovers through nature are designed to agree with God's written message and direction to mankind

Natural Manifestation: Even the wicked and those who repress divinity know there is a Creator from within themselves
