Where Did the Universe Come From?

The universe is a mathematical concept created as literal in the minds of humans.

At least until they hit a road block that renders what they know about the universe useless. Even a photograph is still a photograph. We can imagine what is declared in this photo as anything.

 

John 1:1-3
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.

 

God spoke, and BANG!!! It happened

 

God created out of nothing?

 

This is the level below heaven and this level is flat and the sun revolves above it.

The coming earth was...a formless, lifeless mass."
