ALL KNOWLEDGE COMES FROM TWO SOURCES: NATURAL PHILOSOPHY /SCIENCE AND GOD.
According to science/natural philosophy, there was no time before 13.8 billion years ago. Therefore, we cannot look further into the past.
About 13.8 billion years ago, the universe began with the Big Bang, a singularity from which space, time, matter, and energy expanded. Within minutes, subatomic particles formed and later combined into the first atoms, primarily hydrogen and helium, which over hundreds of millions of years coalesced into gas clouds, stars, galaxies, and planets, including our Earth around 4.6 billion years ago. On Earth, simple molecules eventually formed self-replicating protocells, giving rise to prokaryotic cells (about 3.5 billion years ago), followed by eukaryotes, multicellular life (about 600 million years ago), and the evolution of vertebrates, fish, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals. Around 55–25 million years ago, primates evolved, giving rise to ape-like ancestors and eventually hominins (approximately 7 million years ago) in Africa. Australopithecus appeared, followed by the genus homo, including homo sapiens (about 300,000 years ago), who developed tools, fire, language, agriculture, and civilization, culminating in the technologically connected human society. 2026 is just hours away.

According to God —
According to the Bible, God created the heavens and the earth, and all life within them, as described in Genesis. In the beginning was God, and he created everything. God brought light into existence, separating it from darkness, establishing day and night. He then created the sky, the seas, and dry land, followed by vegetation and plants to cover the earth. God made the suns, moons, and stars to govern time and seasons. The waters were filled with living creatures, the skies with birds, and the land with animals. Finally, God created humankind in his image, forming man and woman to steward the earth and care for creation. Throughout this period, God’s work reflected order, purpose, and intentionality, culminating in the gift of life and human responsibility. Humanity lived under God’s guidance, developing families, societies, and culture, with creation as the foundation of the world as it exists up to the present day, including 2025.
