A PRAISE

I saw the LORD seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphs......and they were calling to one another: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory." [Isaiah 6:1-3 NIV]


Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength. Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. (Psalms 29:1-2 KJV)

Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength. Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts. O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth. (Psalms 96:7-9 KJV)

Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved. (I Chronicles 16:29-30 KJV)

Many people seem perfectly willing to agree that evolution took place over millions and millions of years, but are unable (as yet) to understand that God could have existed from the dawn of time and started the whole process which we now see as scientific evolution.

Nearly, but not quite...God as Creator must exist outside time (part of Creation). I do wish they'd stop speaking of evolution from a monkey though...shows they never ever read the Theory of Evolution! All they read is what some creationist thinks it says....then they tell us this is what evolutionists say! Oh dear...

The concept of time is expansive, even if looked at as just a noun. In Webster's New Twentieth Century Dictionary, Unabridged, Second Edition, time as a noun had 29 broad definitions, and an additional 40 fine differential meanings of time as a noun.

Several of the broad definitions of time as a noun included the following:

1) the period between two events or during which something exists, happens, or acts........
2) ..... period during which something is done.........
3) the point at which something has happened, is happening, or will happen........

4 a) the entire period of existence of the known universe; finite duration, as distinguished from infinity.........
4 b) the entire period of existence of the world or of humanity.........
4 c) earthly duration, as distinguished from eternity​..............


The Bible in Genesis 1:1 states........"In the beginning God created.........." In is used as a function word to indicate inclusion, location, or position within limits" as defined by Meriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Tenth Edition. This approximates in to the concept of during, which Meriam defines as "a point in the course of".

Genesis 1:14 references the creation of time, that is included among the 29 broad definitions noted for time in Webster's. In John 1:1 it states......."In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning". The beginning was a certain point during which certain events occurred. The events known as the creation of the known universe, world, humanity (defined within the broad categories of time); but differentiated from eternity.

Psalm 90:2 points to everything else as having a beginning, but to God as eternal (from everlasting to everlasting).
"Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God"

"God as Creator does exist outside time (part of creation)."
