Before Christ Era

BC

“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth, and every living being on the planet. Back then, the very world we live on, today, was without form and void, and darkness was on the face of the deep. And God's spirit was hovering over the face of the waters. Then, God spoke,... "Let there be light!" And there was light. Thus the heavens and the earth and all their hosts were finished And then, God formed the very first human being out of the dust of the ground, and breathed "the breath of life" into his nostrils. God created both man and woman in his likeness. Then He looked upon all He had done, and saw it was perfect.”
