The song In The Beginning is performed by Mike Oldfield in the album named The Songs of Distant Earth in the year 1996 .
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
And the earth was without form, and void;
and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
And God said,
Let there be light
and there was light.
And God saw the light,
that it was good...
(Extract spoken by Lunar Module Pilot Wiiliam Anders, from the Apollo 8 crew live television broadcast, made when the first manned mission to the moon entered lunar orbit on Christmas Eve, December 24th, 1968)
