What Existed Before Creation?

God created this universe. The chronological sequence of what came first and how long it took for things to appear is still debated. This study will take a closer look at what the Bible reveals.

This study presents an argument that the six-day creation narrative in Genesis describes only the preparation and shaping of the Earth for human habitation, not the origin of the entire universe. It contends that an honest appraisal of creation, including astronomical facts such as light-years traveled by distant stars, proves that the cosmos is immensely old and existed long before the Earth's six-day cycle. Linguistic analysis suggests that Moses’ original use of terms like "firmament" (Raqiya) likely reflects a primitive, local understanding of the sky, demonstrating that he was describing the Earth’s atmosphere rather than the wider universe. Furthermore, the text references the Luciferian rebellion and the existence of "Sons of God" (representatives of other worlds) as evidence that countless other inhabited planets were already established when Adam and Eve were created. Consequently, the study advocates for intense biblical and scientific scrutiny to confirm that the universe was already old and vast when the transformation of this planet began.
