In a few other place in the universe, evolution was much faster. One of these places produced an advanced entity that could control space-time and the dimensions with his mind. So he decided to get rid of evolution altogether (because it took too long), and advance the whole universe, and mankind into a being that could develop a relationship with him, and then be moved into a similar form that he was in. He started this project "In the Beginning." His Spirit "hovered over the surface of the waters" of the new earth he had just made, which, by the way, "was formless and void."
