An Ancient wonder...

On Chritsmas Eve1968, Apollo 8 passed into the darkness behind the moon, and Frank Borman, Jim Lovell,and William Anders became the first human in history to lose sight of Earth.When they emerge from the Lunar Shadow, they saw a crescent (a thing that has has the shape of a single curve) Earth rising against the blackness of space and chose to broadcast a creation story to the people of their home planet. A quater of a million miles from home, lunar module pilot William Anders began :

"We are now approaching lunar sunrise and, for all the people back on Earth, the crew of Apollo 8 has a message that we would like to send to you.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the Earth.

And the Earth was without form, and void; and darkness was

upon the face of the deep.

And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the

light from the darkness.

The emergence of light from darkness is central to the

creation mythologies of many cultures. The Universe begins

as a void; the Maori called it Te Kore, the Greeks Chaos.

The Egyptians saw the time before creation as an infinite,

fathomless ocean out of which the land and the gods emerged.

In some cultures, God is eternal: He created the Universe out

of nothing and will outlast it. In others, such as some Hindu

traditions, a vast primordial ocean predates the heavens and

Earth. Lord Vishnu floated, asleep, on the ocean, entwined in

the coils of a giant cobra, and only when light appeared and

the darkness was banished did he awake and command the

creation of the world.

We still don't know the Universe began, but we do have a very strong evidence that something happened 13.75 billions years ago that can be interpreted as the beginning of our universe.
