In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
John 1:1-3
"..... all secular origins models have to answer this question:
---If the model says “yes,” then it violates certain laws of physics.
---If the model says “no,” then it violates certain other laws of physics.
The only origins model which can be consistent with all the laws of physics is one that affirms a supernatural Creator, who created the Universe and who determined the laws under which it operates.
First of all, we must clarify what “yes” actually means. If the Universe really had a beginning, then before it began, there was nothing. There was absolutely nothing: there was no matter, no energy, no space, no time… nothing.
Problem: this means that when the Universe began, something came from nothing. And a law of physics forbids this.
This fundamental law is often known as the Conservation of Mass-Energy. It says that the total amount of matter and energy that exists can never change. The relative amounts of each can shift back and forth, but the total combined amount is fixed and unchanging.
....physics doesn’t allow the “no” answer, because a fundamental law of physics—known as the second law of thermodynamics—shows that our Universe cannot be eternally old. In other words, our Universe must have had a beginning."

"..... all secular origins models have to answer this question:
Did the Universe have a beginning?
There are only two possible answers to this: yes, or no.
And it turns out that whichever way a (secular) model answers it, it has to violate physics somehow. ---If the model says “yes,” then it violates certain laws of physics.
---If the model says “no,” then it violates certain other laws of physics.
