I'm taking the literal translation of The Bible that Q goes by. It clearly states that before God there was nothing. The 'universe' was nothing but darkness and nothing else.

Now, if matter is eternal, then does that not mean that it was there when God was there? Since the first 5 books of The Bible were written by Moses under God's guidance, I think the wording is pretty accurate and precise. Therefore, if matter and energy is eternal, that would thereby either prove there are mistakes in The Bible w/ evidence, or that God does not exist, or option 2 is that matter is not eternal.

I want to know if people think matter is eternal though. Opening my mind? Man, I am. I was a full blown creationist and now I am talkin bout the arguement that God may not exist, you really can't be much more open then that without cutting your skull off. Anyway, any other people have inputs?
