THE BIBLE SAYS:

IN THE BEGGING THERE WAS NOTHING

AND THEN GOD CREATED HEAVEN AND EARTH

IF IN THE BEGINNING NOTHING WAS WHERE WAS GOD THEN?

No verse in thr Biel says this. Ther Bile opens withthe below...

1. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

followign this is verse 2.followed by vers 3, verse 4, verse 5, and verse 6...

2. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

3. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

4. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

5. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

6. And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

follwojgnthis is alitaby cntinuin the creation cycle, and no mention of "there was nothing".

the understanding of nothing is quite odd about this point, punker. you see, we think of nothing as empty space... but thats not true. inside that empty space there is still time, length, width, height... etc. when we say nothing in terms of physics, that is TRUE nothing, we speak of a 'region' outside of our current universe in which the dimensions of this universe do not exist. in such a sense, SOMETHING could exist out there, but it would be 1) entirely composed of parts which are not limited in any physical sense and 2) would exist eternally outside of time as a no-thing in the sense of not having specific dimensions but as a thing in that it is a BEING

In the beginning, there was nothing. Exactly. God is nothing.

God is NO-THING. God is not a physical tangible thing. In the beginning there may have been nothing, but that doesn't mean God wasn't there.

exactly the important part is the highlighted emphasis on the difference between nothing and no-thing... which are entirely different concepts

Yeah, the universe is absoluetly amazing! I have a wonderful book by Fred Heeren called "Show Me God; What the message from space is telling us about God" It's very awesome.
