The First Thing Made From Scratch

God didn't need instructions to create the universe. God didn't have some fifth-grader's science-fair project that modeled the universe. He created it himself. Imagine creating something without a reference. Even putting together a jig-saw puzzle without the complete picture pales in comparison to God creating the universe. God formed the atomic particles and genetic coding, the hundreds of trillions of codes that make up each individual person, determining every micro-aspect of their physical compositions. God had no reference. Putting together a jig-saw puzzle without a reference is still possible because the images that make up the bigger picture, those have already been created. The pieces of the puzzle were manufactured by another object, a machine. God didn't use a machine to create this world. God didn't have a picture as a reference or a search engine to look up what all of creation would look like. God didn't use materials to create the materialistic. You could create something on a canvas without reference, but you have the canvas and artistic tools around you. God didn't have a "canvas" for creation and no one taught Him how to create. We require oxygen to live and breathe. God didn't have oxygen to start with, He created it. God didn't need instructions and He didn't need a teacher. Nothing else existed before God, we see that in Genesis 1:1- "In the beginning God created the Heavens and the earth." In the beginning, at the start, the first moment, only God. God was the First, before the Heavens or the Earth. God was the first to make anything "from scratch". Genesis 1:2, we see that "the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters." It doesn't mention light. God created light, from scratch. God created energy, from scratch. People and scientists argue that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can only be changed from one form into another or transferred from one object to another as stated in the Law of Conservation of Energy. God isn't contained to a law of science configured by the people He created to populate the earth He created. Nothing created God, but God created everything.
