Young earth? So do you believe the first act of God came out a mess?
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was (Tohu Va Bohu) without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
God did nothing for all of eternity past, then created a mess to have to make it better?
Do you not believe that God created the world in 7 days?
