In the beginning God, this is how it starts, from our record anyway, found in Genesis chapter one. Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
It is this God, who created the heaven and the earth. This word, created is ‘bara’, which means to create something out of nothing.
created-bara 1254), “to create, make.” This verb is of profound theological significance, since it has only God as its subject. Only God can “create” in the sense implied by bara?. The verb expresses creation out of nothing, an idea seen clearly in passages having to do with creation on a cosmic scale: “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth” (Gen. 1:1; cf. Gen. 2:3; Isa. 40:26; 42:5).
It is here that to create something out of nothing is that which God does. But as we look at this, let us consider what is ‘chaos’? Itself Chaos or Chaotic, means ‘lacking visible order or discipline’. It can also mean ‘unordered, unpredictable, and confusing’. Nearest synonym is ‘disorderly and helter skelter’. These meanings are dictionary meanings. From a biblical point of view, chaos itself is seen in the bible and is called ‘a place of confusion’. That is what it was ‘in the beginning’ if you were a man looking on. This confusion comes from our lack of understanding and knowledge of God. For He is and always has been.

When God was, it is true, He had always been and always will be. No power is greater, no God is above him, and he alone is God. In him is time and space. In him is knowledge, virtue, power, and truth. In him, in short, is everything that there is and everything that always will be. He come on a trip from some galaxy plop down on some planet and decide to manufacture humans and then send them as little seeds of flesh to grow out of the earth. In the Beginning, God, the True God, who always was and ever shall be, created the heavens and earth out of nothing.
In the beginning if your were to see all this, you would think of it as ‘chaos’. But it was not ‘chaotic’, nor ‘helter skelter’, for God was in the process of Creating all things. The word ‘created’ is bara, and it shows clearly in the Hebrew that God brought the object or concept into being from previously nonexistent material!
A careful study of the passages where bara? occurs shows that in the few nonpoetic uses (primarily in Genesis), the writer uses scientifically precise language to demonstrate that God brought the object or concept into being from previously nonexistent material. [Vine's Complete Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words, Gen 1:1, Created, bara]
Clearly when reading the passages we see a formless, void, with darkness upon the face of the deep. Then the “Spirit of God” moved upon the face of the waters. Without form here means emptiness and can also mean a place of chaos. It was a mass, empty, void, and would be considered a waste. Darkness, blackness, was upon the face of the deep. Here it refers to all waters on the face of the earth. It was the surface, water everywhere, no land, and darkness was upon it all. Out of this the Spirit [ruach] of God [elohim], moved upon the face of the waters. The Spirit ‘hovered, fluttered, over the surface or face of the waters’. This was the first basic of structures in the beginning, water. Upon the ‘waters face’ the Spirit ‘hovered. The power of God, not wrenching things to get done, but simply, by the Word of his power, through his Spirit, all things were created. Today we see and experience the might creation which was the result of the Spirit of God ‘fluttering’ over the expanse in the darkness, upon the waters.
From, the void, came this which we know today and all it is, the creation!
Gen 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters
