A few thousand years ago an opening to a story like this one would inspire an absolute awe:

1. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2. Now the earth was unformed and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters. 3 And God said: 'Let there be light.' And there was light.

The immenseness of the act must had been felt stunning to the people of that age. Just imagine - void earth, deep darkness, and all of a sudden light. Created at will. Out of nothing. Totally awesome.
But now? Not that impressive. So, what would God have to create today to equally impress a modern audience? What would be an event that would blow our minds away with an incomprehensible enormity?

In the beginning God created the Matrix. The Matrix was unformed and void, and no thought ever rippled its surface. And God said: Let there be consciousness .

No. Let's try this:

In the beginning God created the conciousness. And the consciousness was unformed and void, and no idea ever rippled its surface. And God said: Let there be thought.

please elaborate :)

do feel awe or not? is creation of the conciousness big enough to inspire you?

Do feel awe? I think yes, if you want or can..:)

But no value of it without an evolution - seed - a flower - fruit and it should be eaten then, yes? in what way and who? time? and is there a possible opponent?

Interesting topic really, not simple to reply with some good quotations but just a thought of this magic everything should have some 'evolute form'. I am afraid I understand this term properly but I expect from the creation something like this. :)
