You “read much more into” Scripture than I do. There’s no way that I, as a scientist, feel qualified to “tweak” Scripture to accommodate things like angels, gaps, dinosaurs, and Lucifer — especially since I find no mention of them in the first four verses — which is all I’m addressing...

OK, well, just sticking to verse one and two, I find that the physical reality of a dark universe and the scientific discovery of the "big bang" parallels the possibility of something or things happening after the creation in Genesis 1:1 that caused the chaotic and dark state of things found in Genesis 1:2.

It is interesting stuff which God seemed to purposefully leave open to different ideas because these things take a back seat in the Bible to the centerpiece of the redemption of mankind by Jesus Christ. But to curious minds like ours, I find this as the most plausible so far.

I think the three of us are very close in our understanding of Genesis 1:1-4. And that pleases me.

The Angels were made/created before the Earth was, because they sang to the glory of God upon seeing Him create it.

Jesus is now dimensionally much more than just our three of space and one of time. We can surmise this because He can walk through walls, appear and disappear, and travel in Time, to visit Moses in the Burning Bush, speak to Daniel beside the River Chabar, etc.

As a student of the Bible, I can say with personal certainty that Jesus is making those who believe on Him (that is faithe in Him as their Soter) joint heirs in this greater dimensionality, for when we see Him, we shall be like Him. To see Him in His fullness requires that we have the greater dimensionality very nearly to His limits, but not quite, for He is The Great I Am. Perhaps we will be ten dimensional; He will be eleven dimensional ... Nachmonides in his 1263 text on Genesis tells us there are at least ten dimensions. Modern Physicists have discovered this, too. Swift, in Gulliver's third voyage, speaks of the two little Moons of Mars, and that 151 years before these were discovered telescopically. There is more under Heaven than we know, Brother in Christ.
