What Existed Before “Let There Be Light”? Creation, Science & Cosmic Mysteries

What existed before "Let there be light" video.

What came before the cosmic command, “Let there be light”? In this intriguing video, we delve into the mysteries beyond creation—both theological and scientific—to explore what might have existed before that very first spark of divine illumination.

From a Biblical standpoint, Genesis 1:2 describes the earth as "tohu wa-bohu"—chaotic, formless, and enveloped in darkness—until God’s spoken word brought light into being. The light on Day One is often interpreted not as sunlight, but as a divine radiance—God Himself or His presence—separating order from chaos.

On the flip side, modern cosmology offers scientific perspectives: some theories propose 'time' and 'space' came into being with the Big Bang, meaning there was no "before" in a classical sense. Other models—like cosmic inflation, cyclic universes, and the Hartle–Hawking no-boundary proposal—suggest possibilities ranging from pre-Big Bang phases to an eternally recurring cosmos or a state where time itself morphs into spatial dimensions. And there’s even the idea that our universe could have emerged from a quantum vacuum fluctuation—a spontaneous genesis from “nothing”.

Join us as we light the way through cosmic mists and primordial voids, probing the fringe where faith, science, and the paranormal converge.

• Genesis frames creation’s inception as light piercing chaos—“tohu wa-bohu” directly describing the formless void before God spoke light into existence.

• The absence of a defined "before" the universe is a major point in cosmology—some models leave no room for "before the Big Bang".

• Alternative theories like cyclic/ekpyrotic universes, quantum vacuums, or no-boundary proposals offer more complex visions of pre-creation existence
