LOL...yes the word is the word of God. No one can tell you WHO God is because he is beyond the description of human capability for words or illumination.
There are two camps on "the Word". One is that the "Word" is literal in every way, inspired by God and means just what it said in the way its said.
The second is that "the Word" is the inspired "Word" of God but cloaked in symbolism and mystery. From Biblical scholars we already know that the "time" given is different from the "time" as we see it today. For instance 40 days and 40 nights would have meant...a very long time.
I believe the latter.

Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Christ was in the beginning as the word only the second part of the godhead with god the father but came to earth in the form of a man and became flesh.

Oh Lord, I'm so tempted to answer:
BBBBird's the word, BBBBird's the word.
But I won't.
What mosr Biblical scholars would say is that St. John was writing about Jesus Christ, whom he called the "Word."
For after all, the passage continues:
"John 1.14. "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father) full of grace and truth."

It's referring to Jesus Christ. He is God's son, but also God himself, part of the trinity. Hard to comprehend, I know.
