Is there a parallel between Luke 1:35 and Genesis 1:2?

NIV Luke 1:

35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.
NIV Genesis 1:

2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
Yes, there is a parallel.

In Genesis, the Holy Spirit hovered over the waters.

In Luke, the Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary.

In Genesis, the Holy Spirit impregnated the waters to produce the visible universe.

In Luke, the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary to give birth to baby Jesus.

In both cases, it went from the spiritual dimension to the physical dimension. They were miracles.
