Hi All,

If you're wondering why every astronomer in the world is so excited, the team from Scientific American gives a great intro here:

15:0.1 AS FAR AS the Universal Father is concerned—as a Father—the universes are virtually nonexistent; he deals with personalities; he is the Father of personalities. As far as the Eternal Son and the Infinite Spirit are concerned—as creator partners—the universes are localized and individual under the joint rule of the Creator Sons and the Creative Spirits. As far as the Paradise Trinity is concerned, outside Havona there are just seven inhabited universes, the seven superuniverses which hold jurisdiction over the circle of the first post-Havona space level. The Seven Master Spirits radiate their influence out from the central Isle, thus constituting the vast creation one gigantic wheel, the hub being the eternal Isle of Paradise, the seven spokes the radiations of the Seven Master Spirits, the rim the outer regions of the grand universe.

15:0.2 Early in the materialization of the universal creation the sevenfold scheme of the superuniverse organization and government was formulated. The first post-Havona creation was divided into seven stupendous segments, and the headquarters worlds of these superuniverse governments were designed and constructed. The present scheme of administration has existed from near eternity, and the rulers of these seven superuniverses are rightly called Ancients of Days.

I am wondering if anyone can point to a place in The Urantia Book that discusses the beginning of the creation of the material universe.

The link I gave above discusses the creation of the Central Universe and Havona, but it tells us that at that time, the material universe was not in existence. But that "the very instant that one billion worlds materialize, there is in evidence gravity sufficient and adequate to hold them in the everlasting grasp of Paradise."

I am assuming that this means the one billion worlds that surround the central universe. But what about the material universe...the worlds we see in the telescopes?

This is as close as I have come to discovering this creation:

But it doesn't really give a time-frame or an actual event, like the creation of Paradise.
