Sapient beings wonder how the universe began, or if it has always been in a static and unbound state. There are convincing arguments that the universe, as known, had no beginning as the concept of beginnings suggest. At least the believed facts were convincing to many and for a long time. The "steady state" theory contrasts with understandings supported by other evidentiary perceptions that the universe began with a discrete beginning.

Which account of all the sapient species best represents the truth of the way all the universe is or began? Doubtless, many have some clues or legends that fits parts of the reality as they can perceive with their senses or instruments. Surely a few have knowledge that does fit the truth. Perhaps one race has been charged with keeping secure the account on and from the Divine authority.

Many religious authorities have been queried and theological books read, and they have contributed their ideas. The Centauri joyfully tell many grand stories. The Minbari Religious Caste have been most gracious telling their histories and their beliefs. The Book of G'Quan has been perused. Even the ancient and enigmatic Vorlons have been consulted. Regrettably, Lorien; said to be the oldest living and first sapient being brought forth of the universe, has been sought, but not found. There is a lot of universe, or even of this galaxy, for an intelligent being to hide if they choose not to be pestered by someone of the younger races seeking the fruits of his experiences and observations.

However, it is best to go to the source whenever possible. Who is the source?

Specifically, who has the "big picture" or direct account from the first cause, who is sometimes known as the Intelligent Designer? There are not many races of sapient beings that do not have a concept of God. Even the pseudo-scientific sounding `Intelligent Designer' can meet many religions' needs for a god. All cultures may have their own name, but most of them identify some singular divine and powerful being who is responsible for the universe; or their perceptions of everything. This responsibility at least extends to maintenance for those who believe in the static universe.

If the universe began at one sharply delineated moment, then the singular God is The Creator. True, that may seem non-sequitur at first glance. Still, it fits the Intelligent Designer theory. It is what the primary reference Book from which all knowledge and wisdom flows clearly indicates.

It is assumed that there is a single universe maintaining or creator God. Many religions on many worlds have multiple -to- legions of gods that have their duties to maintain the universe. Why the assumption of a singular authority? Because if the universe is watched over by a pantheon of gods, there still must be one, single leader. The universe is too orderly for a democracy or leaderless anarchy of supernatural beings.

Therefore, somewhere in the universe there must be one sapient race with the truth of this matter. Somewhere, one especial people must have record of The Creator's confession. Why create a universe, only to keep the majesty and mystery of how away from all of creation? That would not make sense. Merely because we can not fathom the sense of the universe does not mean that it does not exist. Still, the question of how and why stands on its merit.

As it came to pass, the newly created people of a blue and green world, orbiting a yellow star, out on a spiral arm of a common pinwheel galaxy, have been blessed with Divine visitation and dictation. They are so blessed that their creation is formerly the second and last, where the first use was of the universe beginning, use of the special word for creation. These inhabitants of Sol 3 of the Milky Way Galaxy are known as `Humans.' The chosen race to have been visited by The God, who created the universe and all herein, are a special line of the Human specie.

There are many different understandings of creation among this planet's peoples. There is no singular belief system in spite of the many who strive to set their religion as the only one for the Human race. There is every imaginable manner of creed among the Humans. There are polytheistic and monotheistic religions, and even atheist (non-theistic?) for those who are not convinced of even an Intelligent Designer; or of anything greater than themselves.

Most of Sol 3's history has been influenced by polytheistic religions. It seems to have a consistency, a uniformity if there are enough `little g' gods to manage their area of expertise or influence. Apparently, it made sense to early man that there be a god for sun, another for rain, for dark, for night, ad infinitum for every phenomenon; natural or otherwise. It pleased early Human kind to have gods that were alike themselves in temperaments and vices, with only the power they need to do that which is attributed unto them. It made sense because early man understood himself, and thus extended himself like gods to understand his universe.

It is another story of how out of all that confusion and error, the truth was allowed to emerge. The first monotheistic religion began from a revelation; a vision. There was no self delusion about the one whom was chosen to get the vision from The One universe creating God. A Human later named Abraham became the first prophet of the Jewish religion, and the progenitor of his race. Subsequent prophets who were his descendants, received and assembled the entire history from the beginning. Many of them also received visions of what was and what is to come. One of these prophesies was for Their Redeemer.

When He came, born, lived, died, and is said to have been raised from the dead as prophesied, some say that a new religion began. History pivoted around Him to the extent that the western cultures flip their calendar because of Him and `His time on Earth.' The years before He came are re-identified to be counting down `before the common era' (BCE) until His presence. After, it is the `common era' (CE). This religion of Their Redeemer is monotheistic, and worships the same God as the Jews. He told His disciples, and to tell other Christians, what is to come.

***

They came: False prophets and `second comers.' One particularly ruthless group who followed one false prophet, began in the Earth's Seventh Century and spread fast. They fanatically worship `allahSee footnote 1' and claim to be `God's chosen.' A `religion' can spread like a plague with unGodly `carrots and sticks' doctrines. They have such perverse carrots as; "heaven in islam is the place where a muslim will be reclining, eating meats and delicious fruits, drinking exquisite wines, and engaging in sex with virgins" (surah 55:54-56) & (s.52:17, 19). To such males, "a man may punish his wife by beating her" (s.4:34), is quite a tasty fruit. The abominations use sticks like; "resisting islam is punished by death, crucifixion, or the cutting off of the hands and feet" (s.5:33) and "muslims must fight until their opponents submit to islam" (s.9:29).

Apologists for these things whom have sold their souls to Satan profess a monotheistic belief and an ancient kinship alike the spiritual kinship of Jews and Christians. Many tout islam as a third, great monotheistic religion. Are they correct?

No. The name of God the Jews use is `Yhvh;' as close as can be depicted of the old Hebrew. That is the same name of the same God Christians know and worship. By the prophesies and belief structures of Judaism and Christianity, they are NOT really two different religions. Jews became the first Christians. The primary difference between Jews and Christians is that Jews are awaiting The Messiah, and Christians profess He was The One known as Y'shua. Properly, Christianity is a Jewish sect that does not require male converts get their `twig trimmed.'

Y'shua said that until He comes again, there will be false prophets. He was right. The `prophet' muhammad did not proclaim Christian or Jewish principles. In fact, he made up his own, new `monotheistic' religion. He is one of a long line of despots to effect a `solution to the Jewish problem.' There were many before him, and many to come after. However, he is one to successfully initiate a `religion.'

Whether or not islam is a new religion is not important. It is simply another abomination.

There is nothing in islam other than `monotheism' in common with Judaism and Christianity. It is declared that in order to be truly monotheistic, the god worshipped must be God. Therefore, islam does not meet this criteria, and any illusion of monotheism of islam is nonsense.

Part of the Christian's holy book is the Jewish holy book. islam's `holy book' Perverts any common racial history, openly slanders Jews and Christians, and forbids any reader of its koran to be friends to a Jew or ChristianSee footnote 2. The nature of allah as described within the koran is most alike the entity known to Jews and Christians as Satan.

Therefore, and by the ethic and testimony of Jews and Christians, the common parts of their Holy Books may be assumed to be from the Intelligent Designer of the universe; God. He made the universe by setting everything into motion. What He did not directly create, He is the first cause for His duly constituted mechanisms that brought it forth. He told the Jews first, so Judaism must be The One true religion, especially since in a way, Christians are Jews.

They have the truth from the source. This recitation sorted the one true religion from all of the false religions on Earth; the Human scale. Can the story of creation be told without being Human-centric? There are other planets with sapient, intelligent races, and some of them truly seek such truth and wisdom. And there are beings in the universe who are truly supernatural.

Of all the languages of Earth, English is the most versatile with its rich structure and vocabulary. It has freely accepted labels for concepts that have been more descriptive from their original language. Also, its sequential characters and tokens have made it most efficient in early data transmission and storage systems. However, when it comes to this Holy Book of Christians and Jews, there are many versions from the original Hebrew and Greek, perhaps with the foibles of translation and transliteration. Even so, the very first six words of two versionsSee footnote 3 are: "In the beginning God created the..." Created what? The "...universe" with all of time, space, matter, and laws of nature.

Many Humans who respect God's Bible want to believe, or are conditioned to regard, that the entire scripture is a linear narrative of history. They contend that this history is only about 6,000 years long from The Beginning of the universe, in spite of artifacts orders of magnitude older.

There are reasons not to be so limited. There is good reason to believe from the Hebrew that the Bible's AbstractSee footnote 4, Genesis 1:1-2:4a, has been written from a forward perspective. The wording for `evening and morning' is not used again within all the remainder of Scripture . That means that the Six Days of Creation it describes, and the time dilation theory; as hinted in Psalms 90:4, 2Peter 3:8 , and Deut.32:7 , is the same time as the near sixteen billion years of the cosmos' history from opposite perspectives.See footnote 5

The Kaballah, a classical Jewish commentary on the Hebrew Scriptures, is said to support the concept of a forward perspective of the Bible's Abstract. It is also said to suggest that the moment of Creation is not quite congruent with the beginning of time. There was a delay as time itself needed to be separated out of the universe's homogenous mixture.

According to one very plausible theory, there was approximately 0.00001 seconds between the creation of universe and the formation of stable matter. Space went from initial speck to the size of Sol 3's solar system. Then, the temperature had decreased to matter threshold temperature of 10.9x10^12 °K. It is said that the Biblical clock starts at the moment of quark confinement . The temperature of the universe is now 2.73°K . Solar system scale suggests this fraction of a second is forward time perspective, or there was hyper-light velocities.

There is another interesting number related to the earliest time of the universe. This is within the first second of either perspective. There was 10^-43 seconds from the `Big Bang' until the known physical laws could apply.

How material are these fractions of a second to understand Humans or the other races? Perhaps the discrepancy in magnitude, even as great as it is, is irrelevant. If these events occurred before time developed, then these lapsed time computations are merely arithmetic artifacts of duration within the theoretical expressions. Probably not much of all this woolgathering is important to many creatures' existence, but it is part and parcel of the knowledge sapient beings require for their own understanding of themselves, their surroundings, and their beginnings.

There is one more curious cosmological constant: 10^12 . Its derivation is better reserved for a cosmology reference or textbook, but it is informative to run some numbers. If we take the best estimate of the age of the cosmos and divide by this constant (cancel some zeros to make the number crunching easier) we get a very curious quotient:

15.75x10^9 yr/1x10^12  = 15.75/1000 = 0.01575yr

0.01575yr*365.24day/yr =  5.75253days

What does this number suggest (ignore the implied precision by the carrying of all the least significant digits)?
1.    These scant six days suggest that the Sixth Day of Genesis One is not yet over!

2.    There is the remainder of day six, all of day seven; the Sabbath, to come.

3.    Nothing is said about the next week.

And...
4.    In conclusion: The time dilation theory, with God's forward perspective, fits and unites Biblical Faith with scientific understanding because both are true. Also, they are not mutually exclusive because of the opposite perspectives.

Therefore, the Human's Bible could only have been written or inspired by the Intelligent Designer, and it is worthy of study to learn about cosmological beginnings.

***

This day by day; as it were; account continues from and within the Human Bible, specifically, The Story of Creation:

    ``...Then he separated the light from the darkness, and he named the light "Day" and the darkness "Night." Evening passed and morning came.that was the first day Day OneSee footnote 6.'' [Gen.1:4b-5, TEVSee footnote 7]

Time began. Light came out during day one. Energy separated from matter.

Perhaps dark matter erupted from the opposite side of normal matter. It does not have atomic force surrounding subatomic particles like normal and antimatter. The object's related energy establishes atomic spacing so that masses seem equivalent to other matter. Without this vacancy, hyper-dense masses would form, even black holes. This vacancy without the atomic forces allow dark matter objects to pass through normal matter objects without violating the physical law about two objects occupying the same space at the same time. The subatomic particles can interleave; simply slip past each other. Since normal matter can be opaque, translucent, or transparent, dark matter is normally invisible in optical wavelengths.

And God's Word did describe how the first eight billion years of cosmology came to pass. The scope of this passage is universal, and God saw as He watched with His temporal omnipresence from the very beginning of creation, this long period of time unfold in only one Day, one singular twenty four hour time period Human beings know as a day.See footnote 8

God, the universe Creator, The One Whom started it all, writes His Book Terra-centric because He sent this manuscript of His Word to the people of that world. As such, this passage of Scriptural creation of the universe must not be misconstrued to mean that these events were transpiring only on or near this little planet for the benefit of Humans. The universe began dark because light had not escaped the primordial universe. Time was also spinning out of the beginning.

Toward the end of day one, there is no reason why similar events did not occur in other areas of similar space. In the beginning, space was undefined.

And so it was on Day One. The old Hebrew was clear on Day One, not `first day.' The language is clear that the universe went from disorder to order. It was in complete disorder, then came order, the root words of `evening' and `morning' in that order. This requires an intelligent designer because the laws of entropy demand flow from order to disorder, uniform to form.

***

Since there was a Day One, it was the first day with respect to a second day. The order at the end of day one is the disorder beginning day two. What did God say about, properly, Day Two?

Although not as obvious in English as in old Hebrew, the word `dome' of verse six is the heavens. Specifically, the Milky Way galaxy forms, complete with solar disks with suns of various ages. Some of this galaxy's stars have already went super nova to provide the heavy elements to form solid planets within newer stellar systems .

One of these relatively new, about 4.6 billion years, stars is known as Sol. It has solid planets accreted from the residue of older stars that disintegrated, scattering heavy atoms and stellar fragments to cool in the distance of interstellar space. Sol 3, otherwise known as `Earth,' formed this way. Out of the chaos of solar disks of gas and dust came the order of stars with planets. Earth had a near opaque atmosphere, as its clearing is described in day four.
How long was God alone in his new universe? The Human Bible has angels as being; or beginning; on a particular day:

    ``In the dawn of that day the stars sang together, and the heavenly beings [see Job 1:6] shouted for joy.''See footnote 9 [Job 38:7]

The language of this passage, as God says in His Word, is not that clear as to which day. They could have been brought forth or created within day one, but the stars were formed during day two, therefore this passage could not have happened during day one. It can be assumed that they shouted soon after their beginning, because they could not before then.

There is a consensus that the `heavenly beings' were in existence `before the Earth.' The Earth, Sol 3, must have been formed late in day two with the solar system. He says in His Word that they are supernatural beings; as "strong and mighty:"

    ``Praise the LORD, you strong and mighty angels,
who obey His commands,
who listen to what He says.
^21 Praise the LORD, all you heavenly powers,
    you servants of His, who do His Will!''
[Psalm 103:20-21]

The Holy Scripture that the universe creator God gave to Humans records that some rebelled:

    ``Remember the angels who did not stay within the limits of their proper authority, but abandoned their own dwelling place: they are bound with eternal chains in the darkness below, where God is keeping them for that great Day on which they will be condemned.'' [Jude 6]

These angels were made, and then they disobeyed God. God, in this passage of His Word, suggests that some of them left, and God has them potted. Another passage suggests that a third of the angels followed Lucifer and his disobedience and Sin. The fallen angels, at least, are away from His especial creation on that Earth even though `darkness below' suggests an impenetrable terrestrial confinement. It is unknown how far they ranged between their disobedience and their binding.
