In The Beginning? (Origins)

But Genesis says there was a beginning, and Nahmanides in his 13th century "Commentary on the Torah, Genesis 1:1" describes the creation just as the Big Bang theory states. (See "Genesis and the Big Bang",pg. 65, by Gerald L. Schroeder, Ph. D., 1990) 
 
> It seems to me the bible does not agree with the big bang theory because scripture plainly says that God has no beginning nor end, it is only this earth time it is speaking of having a beginning (possibly). God is not nothing, God is something so there was something before this earth time and will be after this earth time. - Nahmanides quote does fit the Big Bang, and presumes that God is eternal for He does the creating. Remember I am using Nahmanides interpretation. The Earth has a definite beginning and an end. Our Sun blows up in 5 billion years. The Milky Way reaches Andromeda galaxy in 2 billion years. The Earth will not survive either one.
 
> God is also said to be the 3 O's, omnicient, omnipresent and omnipotent, meaning, he is everywhere at all time with all power. That says to me everything that IS is God, that includes all time, all things, anywhere, everywhere, everything, seen and unseen. > - I disagree with the 3 O's. No religion really knows what or who God is. But I do think, like Einstein and Spinoza that God is everywhere and in everything.
