"[T]he sequence of the Creation as written is impossible ... for the water preceded -- as it is written: “And the spirit of God hovered over the face of the water.” -- and Scripture did not yet disclose when the creation of water took place!

--Rashi (11th century)

[GSlob]

The spirit [vapors] does hover over the [sur]face of [fire]water, and could be distilled from it. At atmospheric pressure it forms an azeotropic 190-proof mixture. At about 30 mm pressure the azeotrop becomes more spiritual, as it shifts to 199 proof spirit.

and Scripture did not yet disclose when the creation of water took place!

Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the deep and The Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. - PREPARATION!
His Spirit hovered over what was to 'become' - Invisible to the natural, first, and then God spoke it into existence.

And God SAID let there be light.....
