It went something like this (sorry I can't remember the exact words).
Before everything, there was nothing. And God was there. Nothing was made that was not made by Him. Before anything was made,mutated or came to life, God was there. In Him was light.

Luke, perhaps through much study, the "high achiever" wanted to help you "lower achievers" understand what the words really meant. I've never heard the word "mutated" applied to that passage before. And it is awful. I agree with Brian. Personally, I would contact them, not to debate, but out of curiosity. If you do, let us know what they say.
