†. Gen 1:2a . . the earth being unformed and void
That statement reveals the earth's condition prior to the creation of an
energy that would make it possible for its particles to coalesce into
something coherent.
Curiously, scientists have not yet been able to figure out what gives particles
their mass. In point of fact, the multi-billion-dollar Large Hadron Collider was
constructed for the specific purpose of finding a special particle called the
Higgs Boson (a.k.a. the God particle) because it is believed by some that the
Higgs particle "creates" a field that grants other particles their mass. But of
course the Higgs itself is a mystery. Its field is alleged to grant all other
particles their mass, but if true; then what gives the Higgs its mass? Until
somebody figures that out, the Higgs field will remain an unproven theory.
†. Gen 1:2b . . and darkness was over the surface of the deep
This particular "deep" I believe can be safely assumed to be the void; viz:
the seemingly infinite space housing the known universe.
†. Gen 1:2c . . and Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters.
The "waters" at this point in the earth's history probably weren't the liquid
commonly known as H[sub]2[/sub]O. It's just a "place-holder" name; viz: a convenient
label for the colossal soup of freshly created particles that would eventually
be utilized to construct the universe's physical properties.
The Spirit's job, therefore, was as a sort of cattle wrangler circling the herd
and keeping all the various particles together so they didn't drift away and
get lost because as yet there were no forces at work keeping things
together.
