In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
Genesis 1:1, NKJV
When I studied journalism, Darlene Birkes impressed upon me the importance of asking the most vital questions first. For any news story, no matter what the subject, six questions needed to be asked: Who? What? Where? When? Why? and How? These are tools that continue to serve me to this day whenever I want to report something accurately, and I love the fact that God's truth reveals the answers to those questions in the greatest account ever right up front.
Something happened, and the Bible explains it all.
Who did it? God, the Almighty, first among equals in the Godhead.
What did He do? God created everything that is, the heavens and the earth and all that is in them.
Where did He do it? God brought the universe into existence and set in place its confines and limitations within His own limitless infinity. In other words, here.
When did He do it? God made it in the beginning, at the start of all things.
Why did He do it? God did all this because He wanted to, because it pleased Him to do so, which is why He looks at it and approves.
How did He do it? God created everything that is out of nothing that was, by His own power and authority, through the Word, which is Christ.
Everything else is just details.
