My apology. I worded my response a bit poorly. The confusion on this
is/was caused by the way people misinterpret The Word of God, as it
was given to humans. If one tries to understand The Word of God with a
carnal mind-set, it is not likely that this person will misinterpret
it.

I quite agree, there are many who think of themselves as Christians,
who fail miserably in interpreting The Word of God. But, as Jesus
said, "Those who are not against us are with us."

In the beginning, God created the Heavens (multiverse) and the Earth
(this perceivable universe). And this perceivable universe was without
form and void (it had neither form nor void. It was just a point). 

Then the big bang occurred and this perceivable universe was under
way. But, there was no light, initially. It was just a quark soup with
no source of photons.

And so on through the whole sequence......
