These are all opening lines to books or stories and authors use their words to create worlds.
For much of human history, people with a gift of storytelling would travel around telling stories to princes and paupers alike, recounting stories of heroes and villains, gods and demons.
The worlds that they create, however much we love them or how good the graphics or acting is, only come alive temporarily.
They only last for the time it takes to make the movie and then the time to watch the movie or read the book.
We can get lost in the book and re-watch or reread the movie but it is back to the real world we live in.

And that is a good thing because the world that we live in was created by the author of all things and it is as I have just said, real.
We can touch the soft grass, we see the vibrant green colors, we feel the rain and sun that makes the grass grow.
We hear the frogs that live in the grass as they call to each other.

Life is like every genre of book.
Sometimes its an adventure, sometimes it is a comedy, sometimes it is a tragedy.
No matter what the style, we know that God has written his story and our story out already.

God is the author of the Bible, he used at least 40 men to write down the words in the 66 books of the Protestant Bible in a way to convey His message and help us understand Him a little.
It is traditionally understood that Moses wrote the first five books of the Bible except for the last chapter or two perhaps of Deuteronomy.

If you read enough books by the same author or maybe even just books in the same genre like spy novels, or mysteries, you can usually pick up on patterns.
The same goes for TV shows.
If you watch certain police shows, you notice patterns like the first person they interview is usually the suspect.
Or in movies, you know that one person will make a monumental mistake in the middle of the movie but by the end of the movie they fix the problem and they live happily ever after.
It is the pattern that is comforting to us.
It lets us know when to expect certain things.
The stories begin and end with certainty.

We see in Genesis One we have a repeatable pattern: …Then God said...
….It was Good

We will cover the “it was a good concept” in the next section and we will look at the creation itself first.
The universe was created =in what is called ex nihilio which is Latin for out of nothing.
There was no scrap pile of planet material or dirt and wood or an old God had laying around his workshop to make something else.
No, in the beginning, there was nothing other than the Triune God.

In a free act of God, God spoke the material universe into existence.
There has been quite a lot of material generated from very early on in the Church history if the six days are literal or allegorical, set in our finite timescale but really reflecting God’s infinite timescale.
Something like one day is equal to one thousand.
Even the church fathers were unsure exactly how to deal with the time questions.
The reformers held to a literal six days.
I hold to a literal six days.
With a whole lot of time in between a lot of the rest of the text.
Science has their own timescale, and young-earth creationists have theirs.
millions of years or thousands of years.

Here is what it is important and what everyone through Church History agrees: God created everything.
The Bible is ambiguous on how long the earth has been here how old the universe is.
What is Clear is that God made it.
This is important because the one who made it is in control of it and so when the story seems hopeless, where the hero will arrive at the appointed time.

Creation is the act of the triune God we see this in Genesis God is there, the sprite hovers over the water and then God speaks, using his words.
This is Jesus, the Word brought forth the water, the land, the sky, the stars, including the Sun and the moon, the plants and animals on the land air and sea.

Paul explains how creation worked in yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.

There is a lot more to the creation debate that we do not have time for today.
