Creation

The first words in the book of Genesis are decisive; prior to the existence of the physical universe, God existed. The clear inference is that nothing other than God existed prior to His creation of the universe. This also means that God is separate from His creation, not part of it. To suggest that God is part of creation is pantheism. If the essence of God were intertwined with the physical properties of the universe, God would necessarily be subject the laws of the universe, which would make Him subject to change, thereby denying His divine attribute of immutability.
