"There are two kinds of priorities: one is essential... not preceded by a cause... As, for example, the sun has light in itself...; therefore the sun, with regard to light, is the cause... the precedent, the antecedent..." (Thus "in the beginning" was the sun; it "created" the light.) "The second sort of pre- existence is the pre- existence of time, and that has no beginning... The past, the present, the future, all, in relation to God, are equal. Yesterday, today, tomorrow do not exist in the sun." Some Ans Questions 1908 Page 132 . (8:3)
