Waters existed on Day 1?

[tonychanyt]

Genesis 1:

1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.

When did God speak these waters into existence?

3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

The non-physical dark earth and the dark waters already existed before God spoke light into being. Can these be related to what physicists call dark matter and dark energy?

CERN:

Unlike normal matter, dark matter does not interact with the electromagnetic force. This means it does not absorb, reflect or emit light.

The meaning of waters was shifting.

6 And God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” 7And God made the expanse and separated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so. 8 And God called the expanse Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.

The dark waters above the expanse belonged to the spiritual realm.

9 And God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.”

The watery materials under the expanse belonged to the physical realm.

And it was so. 10 God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.

At this point, the "waters" was H₂O.

The term waters seems to refer to some kind of primordial hazy matter in the beginning and its meaning became more and more definite in later verses. The Bible seems to be using this term to refer to different states or manifestations of primordial materials, transitioning from an initial chaotic, formless state to the defined physical waters and land.
