You know what I think. God made space/time first and then made dirt or rather more correctly, matter. I'm sorry I did I say I think.....why that's out of character for me!:) Let me change that to; God created space/time first and then dirt. HA!


Gen 1:2 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.

The dust was consistent and even. The dirt had no form. Then the spirit of God moved over it. I...see.... like he created eddies in the dust. Cool. And to God...voila galaxies and stars and planets innumerable for men.

I want to say this again. Time is the canvas upon which this universe is painted. In my opinion Heaven already had space but to build a place for life as we know it God had to make time. Make time, heh heh. Sounds like some old cliche I heard.

The God of Hosts the creator of all that is, is one awsome God.
