"In Genesis it is written that God created the Universe out of the void. The void is empty space, or vaccuum."

This is incorrect because you failed to look at the original Hebrew in gen. 1:2

go to a search engine like bible.crosswalk.com, choose KJV w/Strongs, and enter Gen. 1:2

click on the words regarding "was" "form" "void"

the key word that properly renders form and void is "was" or more accurately, "became". Became totally changes the meaning of the entire sentence. Became shows form and void are more accurately rendered waste and ruin, chaos, etc. Showing further that it BECAME so. For we also know it was created in perfection. Sure one could say so genesis shows it was, but the verse comes before that event, which means it had to be perfect beforehand. The implications support science even to the point of satisfying any evos honest and intelligent enough to drop their bias and realize what's being said.


also, 1:2 is about the earth, although I wouldn't argue there was nothing before something.

If more people looked at that one verse, many of these squabbles would swiftly dry up.

peace out and flame on(me)

The Beginning Gen1:1 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."

" I wouldn't argue there was nothing before something.

Excellent! There is profound beauty and serenity in simplicity and the coherence of logic and truth.

Matt 25:30 "For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
