In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (Genesis 1:1)
It was only in the early 20th century that science began to have strong evidence that there was a beginning to the universe. This evidence was from a combination of observations of the astronomer Edwin Hubble, the General Theory of Relativity of Albert Einstein, and a cosmological theory based on the General Theory of Relativity from the Catholic priest George Lemaitre. This beginning of the universe was later denoted by the expression of “the Big Bang”.
Here we represent the beginning by an arrow, because before this beginning, there was no time or space. But after the beginning, there was time and space and everything that has come afterwards.
