Nothing was before God. There was no substance, there was no elements, there were no atoms, there was nothing before God. He made all the stuff that stuff is made of.

Just as it is reassuring to know that God had no beginning, it is also reassuring to understand that God has no end. He always was and always will be.

God’s existence does not hinge on images that are set up to commemorate His existence.

5. The God of Creation made everything.
He made all the plants and animals, all the stars and the planets, including all the atoms and molecules they are made up of.

6. The God of Creation made everyone.
God made everyone from the time of Adam and Eve to the latest baby to come forth from the womb.
