| | Contrary to many mythical cosmologies, the Bible asserts that the entire cosmos had a beginning, as told in Genesis. This was considered unscientific for millenia, as scientists believed the universe was in a steady state, until the discovery of the [[redshift]] proved an expanding, and thus time-limited, universe and vindicated the Bible. Genesis also states that God said "let there be light, and there was light," which is in perfect compliance with our latest scientific understanding of the universe's early moments, in which there was an enormous quantity of energy, especially light. | | Contrary to many mythical cosmologies, the Bible asserts that the entire cosmos had a beginning, as told in Genesis.
