As I see it, either God created from nothing, or else the universe is
eternal (a thought which comes from the late apologist, Walter Martin).
An if the universe is eternal, then the phrase "In the beginning..."
loses all meaning. How can a Christian possibly avoid a belief, at some
level, in "unreal history?" Is it not just a matter of where we choose
to place the boundary between unreal and real history?
