People seem genuinely surprised when we point out to them that, according to the Bible, there was a body of water present before creation. It's was the deep.
Where Did the Deep Come From?
Deducing the Deep
God as the Holy Trinity existed with a formless mass of water in darkness, but they weren't the only ones present. There are passages in the Bible that make it clear that God had already created all human souls.
Off the Deep End
We're going to go off the deep end which we found at the bottom of a rabbit hole: we'll draw a direct connection between the Holy Trinity and particle physics. By doing so we arrive at a theory of first cause.
Formless > Formed
In the beginning the deep was formless. The subsequent account of creation shows how form and function go through several rounds of increasing order and complexity. The first was to take on the form of a sphere.

It sounds like a script for an episode of Star Trek or an entry in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. However, this is our reality. We still haven't unraveled the mystery of what water IS though.

When someone comes along and says, "hey folks, I figured it out" we're skeptical to say the least. When they then prove that they figured it out, they're stoned to death.
Divide the Waters from the Waters
This post is part of the series Gravity And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it …
