Before the Beginning

 

 

Before the beginning

There was not nothing

And since God cannot not be

There had to be a being.

 

Without a being

There can be no beginning

And without a beginning

There is nothing.

 

The fact there is something

Speaks to a beginning

And so, before the beginning

There has to be a being.

 

This is not pre-ramble

Or wandering willy-nilly,

This is trying to grasp the idea

Of an eternity.

 

Most scientists will agree

The Universe came to be,

That it had to have a beginning

They can clearly see.

 

It was not its own cause

Such would be an impossibility,

It would have to have a cause

That did not come to be.

 

Everything that came to be

Had to have a beginning

Thus, indicative of the reality

Of an eternal being.

 

One before the beginning

Self-existent and uncaused,

Independent and transcendent

Before the beginning, God…

 

 

God in the beginning

Yet before the beginning

Transcending the beginning

Creating the beginning.

 

First cause without a cause

The Creator of it all,

In and before the beginning

The Creator God.

 

Given all of time

Since the Genesis creation

Evolution dissipates with a big bang

And is its own cremation.

 

Before the beginning,

God!

And in the beginning,

First Cause!
