“In the beginning—” is the very first phrase recorded in the Bible, but how often do we take time to consider the importance of the account it begins? It is difficult to imagine, but there was a point in time where time itself began. There was and is also existence outside of time: God just is, and He created all that has been and all that will ever be. It is also difficult to picture the earth formless and empty. Not only did God create the material we see, but more than that, He created the very concept of physical existence.
