(Genesis 1:1) "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." (ESV)
This is the foundation for everything else. The phrase "the heavens and the earth" means everything. So God created everything, he created out of nothing. God is the Creator and everything else is the creation. Everyone and everything is dependent upon God, he is not dependent upon anyone or anything. There is one God who is sovereign, omnipotent (all powerful), and majestic. God is God and we are not. Ultimately if we do not get this right we will not get anything else right.
