Acts17:24
24 God that made the world, and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples mode with hands:
As if he could be tied to them, or circumscribed by them▪ Yet God did in some respect dwell in his Temple, where he did manifest himself more clearly than in other places: But that was a type of Heaven, the Throne of God.
This seems to be directed against the Epicureans, who held, that the World was without beginning.
