"Word of God" is the /Logos/, and has been discussed in theology and

This isn't really relevant to sci.physics.relativity,
which is about a theory where among absolutes that
motion is relative, and that's all it is, that the
Genesis 1 and John 1 or the two "In the beginnings..."
in the Bible simply reflect on the fundamental question
of metaphysics "why is there something rather than nothing"
then that there's "Geometry" from Genesis 1 and "Logos"
from John 1, so, those being the keys of the continuous
and geometrical and the discrete and algebraical, that
merely has that "well, after axiomatic natural deduction,
one doesn't really need another book, unless it doesn't
address the fundamental question of metaphysics, and
the idealistic and the analytic".
Definitely Logos the word is around a long, long time
before 0 A.D., then in Christianity it's given a central
importance and associated with the central figure, and
made proper, "The Word".
I even titled some of my podcasts after it, "Logos 2000".
