Real Creation Took Place When God Created part 1

          At the outset of this discussion it should be understood that real creation is not synonymous with a musician being creative or his or her propensity toward creativeness.  Man did not create music and furthermore, it did not evolve into existence.  The process of music’s beginning and development over many centuries is a much different phenomenon when one compares the notion of some kind of musical “big bang” with no one knowing how it started since many do not believe that music’s beginning was a part of the creation as recorded in the first chapter of Genesis.  Since evolutionists, both atheistic and theistic, refer to evolution in different terms than a creationist, it is unwise for those of us who believe in a real creation to refer to music’s “evolution”. The term development is a much better word to explain what has happened over the many centuries.

          Although the performer, composer arranger, or music director is “creative” he or she is not capable of creating anything.  We know from the Genesis chapter one, verse one that “in the beginning God created…”  The lexical form of the Hebrew phrase “in the beginning God created” is “reshiyth elohiym bara eth (7225, 430, 1254, 853).  This statement is, as lexicographers tell us, rather unprecedented in the English language.  At the first (reshiyth) (of time?) the plurality of the supreme exceeding God (elohiym) through the formative process by entity and “self” created (bara eth).  In other words elohiym the supreme God by himself and through His own power took nothing and made something.  In the truest sense of the word, that is actual creation.  God took nothing and made music.  No one but God has ever made something from nothing from that person’s “entity”.
