The blank page, untouched by man, represents God. Imagine it spreads out forever in all directions.

God said that we should not makes images of him. ^[1] If we form something or cut something, it is made of our hands and cannot represent God. ^[2]

The blank page is untouched, or unspoiled by man.

Ok, ok.. the paper or the white board was made by men. But the first writing of Genesis 1 was on tablets, probably of stone. Tradition says that Moses wrote Genesis, but evidence of the toledoth (translated 'these are the generation of') ^[3] suggests it was written by eyewitnesses. The colophon, or signature line on the first record does not mention a man. This suggests it was written by the only eyewitness, God himself, on tablets the same way he did with the ten commandments for Moses.

If God wrote it on stone tablets, it is curious to note that the word for stone in Hebrew is aben which sounds like the word for father ab and the word for son ben, put together. The stone represents God as the Father and Son together.
