Bible Note: Hi Emmaus, A passage that comes to mind in this regard is, Job 38:4, "Where did you happen to be when I founded the earth? Tell [me], if you do know understanding. 5 Who set its measurements, in case you know, Or who stretched out upon it the measuring line? 6 Into what have its socket pedestals been sunk down, Or who laid its cornerstone, 7 When the morning stars joyfully cried out together, And all the sons of God began shouting in applause?" Apparently the sons of God (angels) were created before the material universe, since they cried out in joy at the creation of the earth. And to me time would begin when the first creation happened (the invisible creatures) because we would have a beginning of events to measure. I appreciate your thought provoking thoughts.
