Well, this is not a first. At least, not if you read and interpret matter forming after light was created by God (Book of Genesis)
But there was something out there before the light- there was “the Word” (Book of John), aka “information”
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God “(John 1:1)
That “word” made the first matter to emerge from light... a bit more spectacular and purposeful than what man has created in a laboratory
“That “word” made the first matter to emerge from light... a bit more spectacular and purposeful than what man has created in a laboratory.”
True enough! And I think that those of us made in His image have still done something extraordinary with this experiment.
