Power From On High...

Prologue

Before everything, there was only one being. God.

God the father.

God the omnipotent and the omniscient.

God, the creator of all things.

At first God started small. Using his almighty mind, he started manufacturing matter, using what is called original matter from realms far, far and far again, beyond the boundaries of this universe. He took the original matter and redesigned it, from its subatomic complexities to its colossal form as a planet, containing hundreds of differing elements. He tore apart atoms, recombined them and struck them against each other. He paired the perfect combination of hydrogen and helium, fusing them and easily creating the sun, though it was not complete.

God snatched up a heap of matter selecting the perfect set of elements and excited them tremendously, creating a spherical vortex of energy. He created water from the original matter and gathered another mixture of elements. He held them in two parts and doused them with water, mixing them and churning them until he formed solid earth, wrought stones from the most dense of elements and filled the halves with them. He applied pressure to the halves and they hardened in moments, they were now ready for the next step. He took the two halves and contained the vortex of energy, which would become the core, encasing it within the depths of the two halves, what would be ground. Focusing his mind upon the simple spherical structure, layers formed within, until the form was exactly as any common planet.

He carved out pieces of the planet's earth and scattered them in many directions creating asteroids. The grooves would be for the seas. He filled them with water and with forethought filled the seas with sodium, chlorine, potassium and a range of other elements for the life that he was planning to cover the planets with. He passed the planet through a nebula as one would weave cotton candy onto a stick. A nebula which he also created from the original matter, composed of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, argon and many other elements that never before existed. The planet pulled in enough gases with its gravity for it to have its own atmosphere.

God created another planet, this one had a bigger core, less earth, less water and he passed it through a nebula that was heavy with dozens of volatile and benign gases.

The small planets shined under the light of the sun but it was too far away to matter.

God then set the sun before the planets, testing the laws of gravity and its limits as he pulled them away from one another he felt the tension in-between and instantly he learned where they would be perfectly placed in order for them to exist working in unison. He watched as he cast time upon the planets and the first changed gradually, its large bodies of matter, continents, shifted, and the planet's atmosphere reacted to the sun by bouncing between winters, drought and times of calm, he loved the weather anomalies, he loved the lightning.

The other planet went through many changes. It was covered in volcanic activity, never produced water and its seasons were inconsistent. He discovered that the further away it was from the sun the more stable it became, but it could never be truly stable. He enjoyed testing things, regardless of his knowledge. One is never to old to learn again.

He destroyed everything once he had learned from all that he had done and tried again; producing more planets, creating a solar system with planets set in places around their star; motionless, as if waiting for something to push them forwards.

The planets floated in fixed positions around their new sun, each one set in a line, one next to the other, ordered by distance from their star. During this period in the creation each planet consisted of a fixed night and day, because none of the planets had orbits, nor did they spin.
