"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" is actually incorrect and has been changed/altered from the original texts based on the understanding and literal meaning of the Hebrew translations. The actual sentence is "The father of the beginnings created the Elohim, the heavens and the earth". The father is a representation of the universe itself. God as a term was never an original reference as it was added by the Romans as a psychological tangent to ensure man started to worship man rather than nature and the Sun (not son) of The Father (the universe). Nature is the only GOD as it is written. GOD = Grantor Of Domain. That is my understanding of it through my studies. A BA RASHEET BARA ELOHIM ETH HA SHAMEIM WA ETH HA E/ARIS = "The father of the beginnings created the Elohim, the heavens and the earth".
