"Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, 'Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree in the garden?'"Genesis 3:1
In Genesis Chapter Three, we see another "S" word: serpent. In Genesis Chapter One, the very first "S" word in the Bible is "spirit," specifically, "the spirit of God." The spirit of God moves, wherein the serpent questions. The serpent questions everything that God does, everything that God says, and everything that God promises. The serpent questions God's creation. The serpent questiones Eve, "Yea, hath God said...?"
"...the serpent was more subtle...." The serpent already knew the answer to his question. His motive was to get Eve to question God, to question her husband Adam, and to question herself. The serpent wanted Eve to question everything except him. Why Eve did not question the serpent is evident in his subtle, devious approach.
Do you question others about God? Why not question God directly? Everything we need to know about God is in God's Word.

My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer. ~Psalm 78
Jesus Christ is Lord!
Genesis 2
"Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them." Genesis 2:1
As in Genesis Chapter One, verse one, the earth is mentioned again in addition to "The heavens." This time "heaven" is plural whereas in Chapter One "heaven" is singular. After the "beginning" God went on to create more heavens. There is only one earth, just as there is only one you. Mankind is unique in the Universe.
Verse two states, "And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made." Everything that God made or ever will make has already been created. The seed of all humanity was within Adam's and Eve's DNA. We were created by God "in the beginning."
It's a wonderful blessing to know that we were in the mind of God from the very beginning when he created "all his work."

Genesis 1
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth...and the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." Genesis 1:1-2
The first "S" word in the Bible: spirit
And not just "spirit" but "spirit of God." The first spirit mentioned in the Bible is God's spirit.
What does God's spirit do? The spirit of God moves. The spirit of God "moves upon the face of the waters." Does the spirit of God move upon your face? The human body is 70% water!

Atheism
The Bible says, "...There is no God," in two separate verses, Psalm 14:1 and Psalm 53:1.
But, always, always, always, look up Bible verses for yourself.
"The fool hath said in his heart, 'There is no God.'"
"Atheism does nothing for the 'God-shaped' hole in the human heart, except to make the hole unfathomable." ~dkg
