May 16, 2010 – Catechism 275-281

The idea of creation.  Of something from nothing.  That God created all things from thinking them into existence.  There is no scientist or scientific theory that can really explain what started creation.  They have theories, some I’ve heard that sound much more far-fetched than a God creating things with His thoughts, but we are only able to go so far with science.  Our understanding takes us to certain origins, but something always comes from something.  The question about what came before that first something started is answered by God.
