The Ancients once again took the sacred scripture too literally. :)

I don't know, the explanation is extremely simple, but very vague - "God was always there." But think about it, if we talk scientifically, what was there before the Big Bang? I discussed this topic with a very experienced and respected atheist psychologist:
Me: Well, if not God created the Earth, then where did it come from (smiling)?
Her: There was a Big Bang, from which all the stars and planets appeared, by combining particles. True, I don't know much about it (laughs).
Me (making an interested face): And how did this explosion happen?
Her: Before the explosion, there were other planets, galaxies that were depleted and exploded.
Me (in a tone, like a child asking questions, like "where do babies come from"): And how did that universe come about?
Her: Also from a Big Bang.
Me: And where did that explosion come from?
Her: From another universe.
Me (already seriously): Okay, I understand. And where did all the explosions, all the universes, and all the galaxies come from? Where did it ALL begin?
Her (uncertainly): Well... there was a Big Bang...

That's how it is :)

In fact, one of the symbols of faith in Christianity is the Trinity of God. This means that Jesus, God the Father, and the Holy Spirit are one. This means that they all existed from the beginning. But the problem is that this symbol of faith was adopted around the 6th century. And before that, there were such disputes among Christians that blood flowed like a river.
