In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
The earth was a formless deep dark abyss. The text seems to suggest that the waters were what was formed first, and nothing else.
We first read of them in Genesis, before the Earth was even made. Also notice that the "heavens" were created in this same chapter as the "waters" are being organized. Sometimes I think the term "waters" has another meaning, maybe something like strings or the Higgs-boson. Something that all matter has in common. If we glean information from the rest of the bible, we see the elements will be destroyed with fervent heat and dissolve, if this is the case, then there must be something common throughout the heavens that can be effected at once.
That would mean that everything in the universe was created out of water, and water is formed out of energy. I also think that the universe is made up out of invisible poles, which have helixes rotating around them. These poles are random, and they exist as possibilities. The universe is based around a virtual pole, on the grand scale, but at the other end are countless billions of possibilities. As long as this universe exists, there are possibilities. When the universe is destroyed, then everything goes into chaotic nothingness, an anti-existence, where nothing is possible.
3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4 And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
God said that the light was good. Notice however that God did not say that the darkness was good. So what was the darkness? It was separated from the light.
5 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night.
Perhaps, at the end of the Day, the light is separated from the darkness, and the sons of light will inherit the light, and the sons of darkness will inherit the darkness.
