In the beginning of what? God is timeless is he not, existing before the earth and man and all that jazz. Classic dreamtime myth, it is what it is. If god existed before time, then there was a "time before time", if time began when god created the earth, then all of the time before that was the time before time. I think I see our disconnect GC, I'm just reading the damned book, you're reading into it. Perhaps you and Frodo should have this conversation. He's of the opinion that genesis is not a literal account of creation (he's right), that its a narrative to do with function and purpose (also right), I know you'd blow a gasket, but he comes back full circle for you, in that the function and purpose somehow involves god (and there's the left turn into fantasy land).
I'd even take frodo off ignore to watch you two settle it, the True Doctrine, once and for all.
