Bible Note: Tim, An interesting question in this regard is when God created the invisible things. Were the invisible but physical things created before the visible and did time begin then? And when did God create the invisible but purely spiritual things such as angels. Since time exists in the relationship between movement and space and the angels being pure spirit do not occupy "space" were they created at the same time as physical things? They are not eternal like God in the sense that they had no beginning, but if they were created before the physical things we cannot rightly attribute a "time" as we understand it to their creation.
