Nothing existed before Gen 1:1. It existed between Gen 1:1 and Gen 1:2. More time passes between these two verses than throughout the rest of the bible. Creation (as in the 6 day creation) occurs AFTER Genesis 1:2, and is the starting point of the 6000 year old creation. (The 6 day creation does NOT include formation of the earth.)

I'd be interested in knowing how you come up with that interpretation, since neither Genesis 1:1, nor Genesis 1:2, seems to give any context which would allow the two verses to be broken into two distinctly seperate events.
