There are multiple theories of prior existence to the known universe.



In the past, scientists were almost sure of the fact of an eternal universe. Then, through the help of Relativity and Hubble, it became obvious the universe was expanding. This led to the theory commonly known as the big bang.



One explanation of pre-universe existence is that of an eternal universe. Theories are popping up of how the known universe might have expanded and collapsed any number of times.

Proof: Quantum Fluctuations are known to have existed at the time the known universe was a single dot. Also, the universe is expanding now and will inevitably run out of useable energy. At that point, it will collapse. This begins the process all over again.



A second explanation is that of a supernatural side. Some scientific communities believe in a creator of the universe and state there was nothing before the beginning of time, space, and matter, but God.

Proof: It is argued that logic should govern this argument stating that "Something creating something", is more acceptable than "nothing created something".



These are two popular theories of theoretical physicists and creationists. The answer to your question is still be explored by many. If this interests you, I would recommend you check out Astrophysics.

It depends on how you want to define the universe, but if we define it as all that there is, then nothing was before it because it is eternal at the macro level because energy cannot be created, nor destroyed, making energy both uncaused and eternal. As far as the exact natural methods that allows for this to happen, we don't know yet. Right now we can only examine the current state of this universe that began as a conversion of energy known as the big bang. Because we are considering all that there is and we know that energy is finite, we have to consider that we are in a closed system and usually in a closed system, the potential between energies is eventually lost which means the ability for this potential to do work would also be lost. Since that doesn't appear to be the case, there must be some kind of perpetual effect going on that recharges this potential, whether it be black holes or some artifact of matter and antimatter that produces this effect.

Nothing, the universe has always existed. There was no time before the universe the same way there isn't a smallest or biggest positive or negative number. We like to mark different points in the past to be the 0, when we count time then it's most common for us to start counting years roughly from the point when a weird Arabic person was born. We mark that point as 0 because someone sometime thought it to be important. But that doesn't mean that there wasn't a time before that and we count backwards from that point the same way we count years forward.

People who study the origins of the universe have run to a dead end with the Big Bang, due to the nature of the Big Bang, not because there wasn't anything before it but because we haven't been able to find any ways to get information about what was before it, if there are any ways at all. So they call that point the beginning instead, but it's no more of a beginning than the birth of the aforementioned Arabic person was, just because we name something to be the 0 point doesn't mean that there isn't anything before it, but instead it gives us the opportunity to call things after it to be after it and the things before it to be before it, just like we do with years right now.

The questions, what was before the big bang and outside our universe was once answered by Stephen Hawking this way: If we know, then it is part of our universe because - by definition - the universe is everything we can observe.



The truth is that we don't know what time is. Scientists like Georg Cantor and Kurt Godel have nearly lost their mind trying to figure it out. Simple logic says that if the universe was created then who created the creator? And if the "creator" can be eternal, why not the universe?



We observe an increase in the universe expansion. This leads to a start (big bang) going to eternity (big freeze). But how can something eternal have a beginning? Wouldn't it be like asking, where does a circle start?



At the age of 67, I doubt I'll live to see the answer but, perhaps you will! ;-)

That's a question that neither devout religion or science will ever have the answer to.



Scientists will say the universe exploded into existence when the big bang occured. Christians believe that God created the universe.



To say that the universe exists because God created it is just too simplistic. It's a childs way of thinking.



The Big Bang only explains the creation of matter in the universe.



What I want to know is what sort of space did God or the singularity or the cosmic seed or whatever exist in? Even nothing is something on that level right?



I think the reality is far more surreal and bizarre than either religion or science will ever be able to explain. It's just beyond our understanding.



Maybe the universe exists because our collective consciousness dreams it into existence.



Maybe the classic stoners, pot fueled epiphany is true...an atom in our universe could be an entire other universe and we could simply be an atom in someone else's universe. Who knows?

The universe is just a time limit of what we understand as a point to grasp upon..in other words. Another universe. And another. It never actually started. Its just there. Understanding this comes from understanding the ratios of fibonacci..phi. and pi. There all chasing "0" or the whole. But the whole has always been there. So the whole itself is unchanging. The universe is a grasp of change because its altered slightly differnt than absolute perfection. If it were absolute perfection there would be no differation of noticing the reflection on the mirror cause light would have nothing to bounce off of..meaning. that its always chasing absolute zero. But in order to exist. It cant be absolute zero cause absolute already is. Everywhere..all the time. For infinity. And chasing Are the endless variations of broken up creation. So what was before our universe? Endless other universes that are still co-relating and still going..cheers..

if i rememer well the time "start" in the same moment of the big bang.



before the big bang there were no time so neither a "before".



if you want to understand more you should read some book related the relativity. this could help your mind to get close to such a difficult concept..difficult for our ways of thinking.



somehow the time and the distance are related.. time is a dimension as well as space.

a mass can deform the space, and the time as well.



one interesting theory is that we have the conventional structure of atoms: proton (+) inside, and electron (-) outside.

the antimateriatter (electron with + and prthon with -)can be done in laboratory but it disappeard after nanosecon in contact to the common matter.

the question is..why after the big bang the mattter had win over antimatter?

is it a causality?

or exist another parallel universe where the antimatter is the main force?



mayba the end of this universe will be a new begin of other universe or not?



who knows..



anyway pretty sure that the time does not exist befor the big bang so there were no before.

Darkness

Figuratively speaking

mind you what exited before you did, then we're talking metaphysics.

For all intent and purpose the Universe started when you did.

But there was something her before you ?

Not necessarily you have thermodynamics, linear time (sure mass can bend it) but in essence Cause effect.



The supposition is that you needed to exist in order to ask questions and in order for that to make sense existence was extrapolated and it only appears to have taken place before you did so that you have a place in which to exist..



Or if you can take a piece of nothing and split it, you get anti-something + something ( -1 + 1 = 0 )

but can you have nothing if you exist sure that contradicts nothing. in the same way a void can never truly exist - can a void have a confide area?



You could go esoteric and become one with everything and at that point you will know, but you'll have no one to share the concept with, as you will become the nothing that it all started with.

The entire EXISTENCE has many different gardens. Each garden has a different conception of logic and reality where there are a lot of universes.



The garden of our universe has a common element: Time. Time is another garden of infinite universes but with the same conception of logic and reality, because this universes are the same, only in different moments in respect with our universe.



So, when you guys are talking about time 0, you are talking about that time in this universe in this type of existence. So before this universe didin't started to exist, the other ones where existing in another times!



Conclusion: the universe will always be existing, in different times, but always. This universe hasn't got a beggining, time is a conception of this universe, not of the entire existence. Note: the universe and this universe are not the same thing.

Good question, most likely before of the Universe nothing existed. Honestly, I think that in fact there are more universes, so in this way, there is a multiverse. Every 20 or more billions of years the universe shrinks and then expands again with the Big Bang. This happens always within the omniverse that contains infinite Multiverses, probably; however it is a very interesting question :).

Since energy and matter cannot be created, only made to change form, existence and the universe are eternal, and uncaused. This is why I favor the Steady State Theory over the "big bang" as a plausible explanation for the existence of our universe. It is beyond me how this seems to escape the so-called "experts", who seem to neglect scientific laws of Conservation and Thermodynamics, when talking about the universe and referring to the BBT. The SST, which hypothesizes that the universe cycles endlessly between phases of expansion and contraction, where I believe the BBT is merely a transition period between the previous universe and the present, has always supported what has been consistently and scientifically confirmed. Yet, it was arbitrarily passed up for the BBT in the early 20th century as the generally accepted theory of the source of our universe, by the scientific community.

The universe that we know is simply the physical domain that humans and physical matter exist in. It is all that is discernible with the eye whether the naked eye or through a super powered telescope. However, outside our universe is an exoverse. The beings that exist there do not have physical forms like ours. Their bodies consist of dynamic energy personified. In other words, the beings do possess a face and bodies of but of another sort or format that we cannot see or sense. These beings though speak, eat, sing, compose, have feelings and interact with one another just as we do. One among these is the Supreme Being. Groups of the beings are charged with the upkeep of our universe for a cycle. Then another group takes their place for a cycle and so on. These ones govern/maintain the forces that make life possible for humans. We re not able to discern their presence however because they are higher forms of energy which are out of our scope of detection

Time did NOT exist before the beginning of the universe so there is NO before the universe only the singular moment that it came into existence - trying to make up some pseudo babble nonsense about the before the universe is pointless belief - the question is pointless and irrational - the focus for science is to not waste time with unanswerable non-science and focus on the reality.

I don't believe anyone can answer that question while alive here on earth. I have questioned that all my life and wondered what the answer is. I personally feel that I will never know the answer to that question until I pass on to the after life. But even than I question as to whether I will learn the answer. All these comments about what existed before the universe are just comments of what everyone believes to be true and in all reality no one really knows.

I and some other Scientists have a theory that to put it simply because the mathematical version is to long and I'M not going to type all that out, But the theory is that there are black holes in the universe and that eventually only two huge black holes will be left after swallowing every thing in the universe and when that happens they will simply, rip each-other open and again and another big bang will happen. So if you believe our theory Another universe was her before the BIG BANG.

Your guess is as good as anybody's guess, Mr. M!



If you're into Creationism, then, it was "God." If you're into Science, you may lean towards the Big Bang Theory or some other theory of the Universe, meaning, what existed before the Universe was what those who believe whatever theory they came up with! God or some little microscopic particle, whatever.



So, whatever you lean to, religion or science, is as good as anybody's guess. Such questions as yours, Mr. M, can only bring more questions rather than answers.



So, what to do, eh? Just play along with what they think was in the beginning, and come up with your own thoughts and ideas about what happened. It's the only way to go.



Some even believe that it was some Turtle that existed before the Universe!! Their guess is as good as any scientist or priest's guesses!

GOD created time by melting Energy,mass and space and turn them all in to time and then fix the nature to them in such a way that each entity can not exist without one another, for instance, by fixing the energy insuch a way that it can not be created or destroyed by other except its Creator.

So by using the words before and after is to use the media of human laguage to explain how GOD created HIS Universe .

How can we understand if we do not use the word ,before the big bang, or the expansion of the Universe, GOD ignite the first pure energy that can perform work and that instant the Universe started to form as according to HIS Grand Design.Then to conclude,GOD created the pure energy from nothingness and then say to it BE and it is.

So logically speaking, how can something existed with out being nothing, before anything existed as we witness later on.

Also it is illogical to say that, Time dimension existed by itself with out being created ,since Time itself has the characteristic of the Past,Present and the Future.Then the One who brought Time into existence from nothingness,would have full power in controling Time of its said characteristic.

When the entity of Time required to have the beginning, then it would finally comes to its ending.That is why GOD is the Sole Creator and being the Lord of all the worlds.

We don't know, perhaps we never will know what came before the big bang. But it might be an answer like this; The universe was once a galaxy like ours, or rather, the black hole that lies at the center of our galaxy. In 4 billion years the galaxy Andromeda and the Milky Way will form a larger galaxy. The black holes at their centers will grow in size. Black holes will always grow in size. But there are no physical things without limits and even black holes must have a limit. At least, I do not believe there can be something without limits. If black holes have a limit, for example, the limit will be the mass of what we call the universe formed by the big bang. It suggests the early universe was once a super massive black hole that finally reached it's limit. It may have drifted and grown for countless years before it reached it's limit and gave birth to our universe.

This question is so old and began when man evolved conciseness as our experience on this planet teaches us all things flow from something. So our logic which is derived from our experiences on earth tells us nothing can come from nothing. Thus we need to apply what we have learned on this particular planet to the universe. We see that we cannot find the final and ultimate beginning as I believe our minds are not capable of understanding the meaning of Eternity and the beginning of time and reality. We have evolved thru time and we are asking questions that we are not equipped with the brains with the capability of dealing with this question as it is beyond what our brains are capable of handling.



I believe ultimately if we continue to evolve we will certain increase our knowledge of the cosmos an beyond. However, if we will ever get to the point of understanding fully the very beginning of the cosmos is questionable as this the essence of the peak of all knowledge and would answer all questions concerning the entirety of all existence. A great jump in this quest to find answers to these awesome question would be to make contact with another species of life that has existed millions or Billions years more than us. This would certainly would escalate our knowledge of the cosmos.



However, the possibility exists that they may find us to make excellent life forms to add to their diet due the awesome difference in intelligence as we are to the animals we consume. So, I believe that if we exist long enough we will probably will be able to understand an awesome amount more about the beginnings of the universe and we also find that we have generated as many questions that we have answered as knowledge has always increased the questions to be answered,,

Our universe - time and space - began at the moment of the big bang. For us, that is effectively Time=0; so, there can *be* nothing before that *in our universe*.



There *probably* was another universe - or several of them that may have existed - but we simply can't know, at least not yet.

According to physicist Michio Kaku who specializes in string theory it's possible there is a "multi-verse" with multiple universes, which then asks where did that originate from, which could even lead to an interesting religious question like what if OUR God (if there is a God that created this universe) is not the only God. O_o BUT there is nothing proven with modern science that makes it a fact.. it's all PHD theory (everything starts as a theory) but still within the realm of probability or plausibility.

It is difficult enough to imagine a time, roughly 13.7 billion years ago, when the entire universe existed as a singularity. According to the big bang theory, one of the main contenders vying to explain how the universe came to be, all the matter in the cosmos -- all of space itself -- existed in a form smaller than a subatomic particle. Once you think about that, an even more difficult question arises: What existed just before the big bang occurred?

The question itself predates modern cosmology by at least 1,600 years. Fourth-century theologian St. Augustine wrestled with the nature of God before the creation of the universe. His answer? Time was part of God's creation, and there simply was no "before" that a deity could call home. Armed with the best physics of the 20th century, Albert Einstein came to very similar conclusions with his theory of relativity. Just consider the effect of mass on time. A planet's hefty mass warps time -- making time run a tiny bit slower for a human on Earth's surface than a satellite in orbit. The difference is too small to notice, but time even runs more slowly for someone standing next to a large boulder than it does for a person standing alone in a field. The pre-big bang singularity possessed all the mass in the universe, effectively bringing time to a standstill. Following this line of logic, the title of this article is fundamentally flawed. According to Einstein's theory of relativity, time only came into being as that primordial singularity expanded toward its current size and shape.

Case closed? Far from it. This is one cosmological quandary that won't stay dead. In the decades following Einstein's death, the advent of quantum physics and a host of new theories resurrected questions about the pre-big bang universe. Keep reading to learn about some of them.

The naïve-to-physics answer is 'nothing' or 'it's before time began', etc.



The physics answer is: something, and here are some hypotheses on what it might have been.



For instance, the atheist, world-famous physicist Stephen Hawking theorizes that before real time = 0, before the Big Bang, we already had this particular physics which allowed the Big Bang to happen, via the 2nd time dimension (quantum imaginary time).

(Hawking's article "The Beginning of Time" -- you can read it even with little knowledge of physics.)



Many theories, and it could be we will never know by science alone.

Ours

When a virtual reality become smart enough to create a virtual reality in it's own virtual reality that virtual reality will eventually become smart enough to create its own

..... It's only one of many theories

The big bang is a theory

Why do we only get taught this at school

That is misleading I have a theory that bpoww the bigbbang theory wide open

Because the big bang isn a theory humans are thick and believe what they are told

With a little truth they have u believe there lie

As we all know that universe was formed by a big explosion called the 'BIG BANG', and the question you asked couldn't be answered by anyone as on one else knew that what existed before the big bang but a small ball of EXTREME energy which just blew up into a never ending universe.

My civilization has studied this. Before the human universe their was other universes in this dimension. A quantum explosion happened then magnetic invisible bubble boundary was created for it. Then mass accumulated form atoms colliding and created entire planets. gases formed then a gravity Made gases collapse and somehow ignite. Those brought lights to the planets if they accumulated enough mass then it could be a galaxy. A gathering of human star systems. Then I think that's it. I still am learning this "English" so if I did anything wrong not my fault.

Think the question we should be asking is. What is the universe? Not simply just 'what is the universe', but how was it made, how did the big bang happen... from our conclusion everything is made by something. A cake isn't just made, it requires eggs, flour, sugar etc... and these ingredients come from sugar cane and flour comes from a mixture of wheat, corn & a few other plants like buck wheat, rice. Bit off topic but hopeful makes it more clear.

according to some philosphers, and I am not trolling or a troll...there was, literally, nothing that we can understand. It's simple, really, there was this "big bang" that is the oldest measurable event and associated with the apparent beginning of the known universe. I stress "known" because, we can not grasp or conceive of a "universe" in our minds. We think we can, but we can't. It's more explained by the mathematicans, physicists, philosphers and the like who are more enlightened than me , for sure. I can't understand what's not there and what's considered "infinite", it just doesn't register naturally. That may apply to other people too. So everyone tries to understand the not-able-to-be-understood, because only g_d understands all of that. That's my opinion, dudes and dudettes who may read this. thanks, good luck and goodnight.

Their are several theories



A. nothingness, no matter, no energy, no space,no time.



B. Their are multiple universes,and something catastrophic on a cosmic scale happened that punched a hole in the universe, on our side that is known as the big bang.



C.Again their are multiple universes and when two or more universes collided, it created our universe

The scientifically correct answer is: We don't know.



If one adheres to the theory of cycling universes, then another universe was here before the big bang.

And a previous universe was here before the big bang that preceded that one.

And on, and on...

The Beginning

1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.



3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

God. God has never had a beginning because he has always existed (Revelation 1:8). The Universe had a beginning and was created by God in six days (Exodus 20:11). Please keep in mind that scientists are only human and are fallible. An all powerful deity is capable of giving us a book that tells us what happened.

Our minds cannot seem to process "if nothing existed" & nothing existed without a creator. All men create theories & guess what existed back before anything started. The answer is, we can't! We think "outside the box" & it doesn't hurt until we hit the grey area & most dangerous the black area. Somethings we are not meant to know. Nothing can't create something out of nothing. It doesn't make sense... One thing is we were created is with love!

There was no "before the universe" so your question is a bit nonsensical. You see, time as we understand it is a dimension of the universe. Without the universe, there can be no time. Ergo, there is no "before the universe". Pretty crazy when you think about it, right?

The basic rule of physics is cause and effect, the philosophical garbage in some of the answers would have the gullible believe there was an effect with no cause, where did the energy originate to create matter, that is the vital question, all energy is generated, what or who generated the energy, well the what is the who!

The truth is, we'll never know. One of the more prevalent theory states that our universe is just a brane world in a 4-dimensional suprauniverse. Others say that there was a multiverse. But, all in all, we'll probably never know for sure.

The planets are here, the stars are here, the sun & moon are here, WE are all are here so I think we should live a safe, happy, loving, and the best life we can so when the time comes and we find out the answer to this burning question, We will all know & decide @ that point in time if it was all worth it. my opinion.

According to the Old Testament God was roaming in a dark void. That could imply there was empty space and darkness. So there was something. What Gods idea was to roam in this environment is unknowable. The Old Testament tells us God was roaming in that dark void for ever and ever, counting towards the past, not the future?.

That, no one knows as of now. if you want false or wrong theories, then that is another thing.



Big Bang theory was another of false and wrong theory.



No systematic creation can ever take place out of a bomb explosion. A bomb explosion effects destruction, not construction.



(How) could you believe that a bomb explosion would effect/start a well-organised and systematic creation of galaxies, solar systems, heavenly-bodies their nicely crafted statics, dynamics and systems?



If you put your faith and belief in theories like these you are at least foolish, too.

All we know so far is that there was a bunch of girrafes flying around using swimming slippers to propel them selves around space. They eventually floated around so much that all of their bones and hair turned into the planets, and they eventually landed on the earth (again, made of bones and hair) and took off their flippers. They evolved into humans and other animals.

Here is wisdom: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

The same was in the beginning with God.

All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.

And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.

For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ." - the Word of God. Get a kj version Bible and believe. Jesus Christ is the truth.

Genesis 1King James Version (KJV)



Almighty God existed before the universe was created. He is our Creator. Redeemer, and He is Lord!!!



1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.



2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.



3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.



4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.



5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.



6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.



7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.



8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.



9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.



10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.



11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.



12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.



13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.



14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:



15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.



16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.



17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,



18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.



19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.



20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.



21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.



22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.



23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.



24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.



25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.



26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.



27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.



28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.



29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.



30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.



31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Genesis 1King James Version (KJV)



1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.



2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.



3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.



4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.



5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.



6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.



7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.



8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.



9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.



10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.



11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.



12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.



13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.



14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:



15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.



16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.



17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,



18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.



19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.



20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.



21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.



22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.



23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.



24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.



25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.



26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.



27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.



28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.



29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.



30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.



31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Before the time and space universes only Paradise existed -- and it still does -- outside of time and space but still center of All Actualized Realities.



'Before' Paradise existed, solely the pre-personal, pre-time, pre-space, Infinite and Absolute I AM existed, and the I AM first organized the Personalities of The Trinity of God the Father and the Eternal Son --



plus The Infinite Holy Spirit to whom They Two gave Co-Equal, Eternal Existence.



The God Trinity function as Absolute Persons or as Trinity. All or any two can function as Trinity.



When the Infinite Holy Spirit appeared, so did the Eternal Central Heaven, and as far as I know, the surrounding time and space universes were developed after that, albeit the primordial energies of space were likely latent in Paradise and distributed through the Eternal Central Heaven to the Time and Space Universes. Only the first of nearly 700,000 local universes are inhabited as far as I know, there are at least four immensely larger uninhabited outer belts of galaxies still in formation.



The cosmos from our point of view has a rind of unpervaded space outside of which is true nothingness, a place where no thing and no person, and no energy, and no quality nor quantity exists. It is not even space. Space is something detectable and real.



Light as we know it now, requires space to exist. Light and energy condense to matter and sometimes vice versa matter can produce energy, all of the rules we do not know, but the general fact established by Einstein. Many less impressive processes reflect Physical Chemistry science principles.



There are higher forms of energy and light, more so in Paradise. Humans in bodies could never experience these. Metamorphosis to perfected spirit is required to meet The Trinity Persons at the Center of All in the Paradise Most Holy Zone.



Each local universe has been organized and staffed with higher beings by a Paradise Creator Son created by God the Father and The Eternal Son, and accompanied by a Daughter of The Infinite Holy Spirit, who eventually serves as Divine Minister and Co-Regent of that Local Universe, who creates all of the ministering angels, and operates the local universe channel for Holy Spirit ministry [endless details left out here, no space, limited human time, energy].



One day, long after this life, you are sent by Christ from his Local Universe HQ sphere on the remainder of your journey to Paradise, assuming you completed all previous steps, requirements. Thus the saying, "No one comes to the Father (God the Father) in Paradise, except by me." Some of you may know this saying, many misunderstand it.



Got to stop soon here. Some very distant future day, if you have attained Paradise, and when all existing 7 trillion inhabited planets where we now live have been perfected "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, earth included, as Your Will is done in the Eternal Central Heaven of 1 billion Unique and Perfect Worlds" -- I have added details not known by all...



Then you will likely participate in those outer belts of uninhabited galaxies in some NEW and HIGHER and VERY DIFFERENT, as yet POTENTIAL REALITY, for life and perfections continue unceasingly because God is infinite and absolute and there is No End to what He can do for sharing all He has in eternity with all of us high and low, and even with remarkable beings of enhanced potentials later, made possible somehow by our own contributions as well as those of higher beings currently on levels above us. We will work harmoniously with countless beings high and low. Occasionally you may be a Principal Leader, but more often some Higher Being I would guess. The best leader for project, see?



God only does what no one else can do. Thus cosmic opportunity is born for all subordinate beings. For you too. In fact you have work to do here on earth, as you can see, see?



Christ has been doing His work too, see? Even as Jesus, here, once upon a time.



Ask and receive, and you will be kept informed, in accord with your diligence, see?



Knowing is better than believing, and starts with the Ministry of Holy Spirit and the near angels, perhaps eventually a High Angel, to your MIND and your life.



You co-create your Destiny in Eternity with God as an eventually perfected finite Spirit of mortal origin, but eventually fused with your Father fragment, though some attain less than that status, but still quite the heaven compared to earth at this stage.



Only mortals can evolve and grow an ascending soul, clothed in successively more glorious forms en route through higher and higher levels and eventually to Paradise.



Perhaps from our point of view if God had created us as fully endowed perfect adults, we would feel deprived, having not been able to participate. But the near angels albeit slightly higher must similarly evolve to perfection.



We must start, knowing nothing, even as babies with earthly mortal parentage. But we will experience more in our way than many 'perfect' beings do, see?



We evolve to perfection, nothing doubting. All are welcome to participate.



Christ experienced our life, and said: My yoke is easy, my burden is light.



You can do it, all of the way ! Many far more humble or deprived than you, or even than I, have succeeded. You make your effort, you get up when fallen, you NEVER give up, see?



Daily goals, daily persistence. It gets better and more interesting each and every notch higher, guaranteed from higher up, check it out... Start NOW...
