That's just ignorant of biblical theology. Scholars devoid of the Holy Spirit condemned the Lord of Glory and had Him nailed to a cross. You can not arrive at spiritual truth through carnal thinking.All you have to do is look at the work by scholars .
1. Genesis 1:1 is a introduction statement.
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
It’s mentioned God is created the heaven and the earth. The earth is translated from the word “ erets “ which means the lands. Ancient Jewish people had no concept of the “ earth “ like we do. We think of earth as a globe. They thought of it as a disc.
so it’s saying El creates the heavens ( skies ) and earth ( lands ).
It then states the condition of the earth. Before it was the lands, before it became the lands, before it was created days later, it was not yet created and this uncreated state was darkness and water. It was the void and the chaos. God did not create the void and the darkness. The void and the darkness was pre creation. This is simply what Jewish people believed.
god then begin to create.
Day 1: God separated the darkness. He conquered it. He ripped it in half and ordered it into light and darkness. This light and darkness was not from the sun and moon or stars.
Day 2: God created the firmament. The dome. It’s as of a metal sheet was beaten flat. That’s what it means in Hebrew.
Day 3: God gathers up the waters below the heavens, which was the waters under the dome and created land.
Esch day it breaks down what was created and on none of these days was the formless void (deep dark cosmic waters ) or darkness created.
just google and read for a few weeks the ancient Jewish and Mesopotamian beliefs of the cosmos. Biblical cosmology for example.
"But a natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned." 1 Corinthians 2:14All you have to do is look at the work by scholars .

Spiritual truth is not discerned through scholarship. It was scholars that condemned the Lord of glory, and had Him nailed to a cross.
The Bible means what it says. Attempts to make it mean something other than what His Spirit teaches are the result of reasoning from carnal thinking.
"And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect."
Romans 12:2
There was no created thing before creation. The Bible doesn't have to say it for it to be true, and the opposite is a logical absurdity. However the Bible does say it in the order of creation and confirms it in the person of Jesus Christ.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him not even one thing came into being that has come into being. John 1:1-3
