Genesis 1:1

Science is observation.

All observations can be categorized in 5 very broad areas:

Time
Force
Action
Space
Matter

In the beginning
God
created
the heavens
and the earth.

Genesis 1:1 is the most complete scientific observation ever.

Quote of the Day

“We know from Genesis 1:1 that there was no creation before ‘the beginning.’ Creation is not coeternal with God. Before the beginning of the created world, God dwelled alone. The universe was made by him, is providentially sustained by him, and is utterly dependent on him. However, God is not in any way dependent on this created universe, nor is his being to be confused with created reality (Acts 17:24–25), nor can we act on him or coerce from him what we want by our actions. He is completely independent of his creation. That is the biblical starting point.”

– David F. Wells

From Conception to Birth

Alexander Tsiaras, chief of scientific visualization in the department of medicine at Yale University, uses micro-magnetic resonance imaging to visualize the development of the human body in the womb, from conception to birth.

In this 10-minute presentation to TED, he shows some samples:

For you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.
(Psalm 139:13-16 ESV)
