MonoMonday: Origins

When I gave some thought to what I know of origins, I could not bypass the beginning of the gospel (=good news!) of John. 
It goes like this: "In the beginning the Word already existed.
The Word was with God, and the Word was God.
He existed in the beginning with God. 
God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him.
The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone.
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it."  Hard as it tries, I might add. This is from the New Living Translation.
