Sorry, late to the show but here is the meaning of Genesis 1.1
1. In the [beginning] God created, the [Heaven] and the [Earth].
There you have it: Time - Space - Matter.... in the proper order I might add! All dependent on each other.
God isn't dependent on any of these items. We are! And to think God is subject to His own creation is dumb.
Saying "before the beginning", is doing just that. Nothing "but" God predates time!
If you want to understand God, you have to first think like Him!
Isaiah 55:8-9
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
.... more later! maybe
