The Beginning

"In the beginning...." Genesis 1:1. "In the beginning....." John 1:1
Two very familiar verses.
I was thinking the other day, why do they both start with the exact same three letters. Why are those the very first three letters God speaks to us. Yes, its the beginning of the Bible, but maybe there is another reason.

I always wonder, did God know that we would mess up and that sin would separate us? Did he have two plans out, for if we didn't mess up, and the other for if we did? I'm beginning to believe he did know we would mess up. I think that maybe he knew we would mess up but still gave us a chance despite what he knew, despite the heartbreak he knew he would experience.

When God wrote the Bible, I think he put those exact three letters for a sepcific reason, besides the obvious reason, it was the beginning of the book.

Beginning: 1. an act or circumstance of entering upon an action or state
                    2. just formed
            
An act means: 1. anything done, being done, or to be done; deed; performance.
                                Synonyms: feat, exploit, achievement, work

So, my point to the defintions is that the creation is proven is the dictionary. Beginning says "just FORMED". The never says anything about being evolved from. We were FORMED by God. It also says "an act" Act is something done, not something that just appears. In order for something to be done, you have to someone to do it. The synonyms are work. Work requires someone to work.

With all of the different theories of our beginning, it's hard to know for sure what really is truth. I wonder if God, knowing what theories would come, purposefully wrote, "In the beginning"

He says in those three words, "I am the creator, because before anything was created, anything at all. Before any type of living or dead matter became into existence, I was here. I created the living and dead matter. I am the creator."

I think God knew that we would question how the world created so he made sure that the first three words he said stated that before anything came to existence, he was there and that he created it.
