So states Webster's Dictionary.

In Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth"

I wish I knew how to explain eternity. I do not. I do know that the word was created literally means, "To make something out of nothing"

I know we are here on this planet earth, so I'll just believe the book of Genesis for how we got here. I'll stake my life on John's Gospel for being true, John 1:1-5 says "(1): In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (2): The same was in the beginning with God. (3): All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. (4): In him was life; and the life was the light of men. (5): And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not."

I know in John 3:16 Jesus says, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

You have the right to choose where you will spend eternity because God, instead of making robots, made us with a free will or choice.

If you choose Heaven or Hell, it will be your final answer. As for me, and my house, we will believe in Jesus and take Heaven for our eternal home. (I rest my case)
