I have heard the view expressed that the speed of light, which is the
only constant in the world, was the first thing to be created (kinda
makes sense). The well-known "Let there be light" (y'hi or) was the
closest that ancient Hebrew could come to expressing "Let there be
a constant representing the speed of light in a vacuum".
