Re:"The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters."

" Dig deeper the verb "was" is not the correct verb, should be "became", was not created that way "formless and void"

Where?
The Earth became formless and void?
darkness became over the surface of the deep?
or, the Spirit of God became over the surface of the waters?

What are "the waters" do you know?

Isaiah 45:18 For thus saith the LORD That created the heavens; God Himself That formed the earth and made it; He hath established it, He created it "NOT" in vain, He formed it to be inhabited: "I am the LORD; and there is none else.

This "not in vain" is the same Hebrew word as without form = waste.

Something happened to cause this earth to become void and without form.

And the Spirit of God "MOVED" upon the face of the waters.

This word "MOVED" is not the same word as "vain" and/or "without form". The word "MOVED" a prim. root: to brood, by impl. to be relaxed: -flutter, move, shake.

Jeremiah 4:22 For My people is foolish, they have not known ME; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.

My dictionary says "science" is having knowledge.

23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.

24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.

25 I beheld, and lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.

26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by His fierce anger.


Some do try and claim this is talking about Noah's flood, however, this says no man and there were at least 8 souls on Noah's ark.
