Everything has a start. A plant, a person, an idea. Even the universe had a beginning.

In Genesis, chapter 1, we’re told that God created the heavens and the earth. Then, only two verses in, we read something that may not make sense when we first read it, because something happened to the earth. Rather than being described as “good” and perfect, as we see in later verses regarding creation, our world is described as “void” and “without form.” Now, why would God create something that’s basically unfinished?
