From Thoughts to Words

By Gideon Robbertse

How the thoughts of God expressed in Word created all that humans know exist today.  The concept of language, belief systems, what happened 'in the beginning', the creation of space and time and what was there before that, the spirit of man, light of day one of creation, as exposed to what science says, are investigated. Perspectives are given from God's view, and from the reader's view.
