In the beginning....

And God said, "Let there be light...."
Cosmology has reached into the history of the universe and the farther back we go the closer we get to the singularity--the beginning, when all was pure energy (what we call "light"), within which the entire universe was contained.
There is no "conflict" between faith and science, in my view. The universe is internally consistent with a set of physical laws that apply everywhere (general relativity) and that have led "naturally" to its current state, which includes life. I find that infinitely more awe-inspiring than an erratic and whimsical universe that depends upon the limited mind of man for its wonder.
Behold, we are fearfully and wonderfully made!
