[Psalm 73]

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void...."

Some speculate that Genesis 1:1 actually describes the creation of this "new" universe from the remnants of an older one.

God is a God of order and would not start off with "disorder" (without form and void).

Could this be a "leftover" from the "original" universe?

Until the Earth had accreted enough matter to become a sphere, it was without form and void..............
