| The earth was formless and void (Tohu-va vohu) |
A.“ Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path”. ( Psalm 119:105)
B.“God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” ( John 4:24)
If you are new to the Bible then recite this verses:
A."For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16).
B.“Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him" (John 3:36).
KING of Jeshurun Devotions on Gen 1:2 (KJV)
“And the earth was without form, and void;.
ve·ha·'a·retz ha·ye·tah to·hu va·vo·hu, (Hebrew OT: Westminster Leningrad Codex Transliterated)
Hebrew Transliteration English
וְהָאָ֗רֶץ ve·ha·'a·retz -the earth
הָיְתָ֥ה ha·ye·tah-was
תֹ֙הוּ֙ to·hu -was formless
וָבֹ֔הוּ va·vo·hu,-and void
For detailed understanding of the creation History of Genesis we are going to study word by word and verse by verse in detail.Let us study the first part of the Gen 1:2 The earth was without form and void….In Gen 1:1 we see God created the universe and in 2nd verse it says it was without form and void.We know that Almighty God cannot create anything imperfect.
The Bible says: “He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just.
A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he” ( Deut 32:4).
In the Gen 1:1 it seems God created heaven and earth was perfect but coming to 2nd verse there is some change it became formless and void.Here the point of question is does God create anything formless and void? See all the creation galaxies,animals everything has a form,anatomy and structure.How could God created the earth formless and void.I read Bible many times and was not able to digest this why there was formless and void what will be the reason? Praise God! God the Holy spirit has answers for every creation History.The creation in Gen 1:1to Gen 1:2 has undergone a judgment by God.As per Gen 1:1 it was perfect creation by God but coming to Gen 1:2 there was Chaos.Something catastrophe has taken place.
The Bible says: “He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just.
A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he” ( Deut 32:4).
“Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect” ( Matt 5:48).

| Cloning is not a part of God's natural creation and reproduction |
Only a very small percentage of cloned embryos—typically zero to four percent—will be successfully delivered, usually by cesarean section. Of those few cloned animals who survive birth, the majority will be of such poor health, suffering from a variety of physiological abnormalities and deformities, that they die within a few days. Even the cloned animals who survive for longer have been known to suffer unexpected health consequences later in life. In fact, an article published in The New England Journal of Medicine stated that, "given the available evidence, it may be exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, to generate healthy cloned animals...."

Remember Pacifist Albert Einsteins participation in developing Nuclear bomb.How far he regretted causing death of thousands of people (Read more: http://www.shmoop.com/albert-einstein/atomic-bomb.html).
Einstein development of Atom Bomb a disaster
Remember what happened man's creation of dinosaurs through cloning in Jurassic Park there was total destruction and confusion.Man's creation produced ferocious species of aggressive dinosaurs.

| Knowledge of men brought great chaos & destruction |
My point of question is does man’s creation will be perfect than God’s natural creation procedures? Think of pollution both chemical and noise pollution how much harm does it contributing to global warming.I don’t mean that man’s creativity has no benefit to humanity and technological advancement but mostly it is destructive in nature.There are many technological advancements which are very well benefiting man but that is unnatural to the divine laws of God is destructive in nature. Think of a primitive man whose life span was many years than of a modern man in 21st century.Have you ever thought of reasons contributing the cause and effect.
God is Omniscient it means he is a supreme scientist his creation and innovations are perfect.
Let us come to our point if Gen 1:1 and Gen 1:2 would be sequential it would show that God’s initial creation is imperfect but it is not it was made formless and void .Thus we understand that the initial creation in Gen 1:1 was perfect and later the earth was undergone a chaotic situation.
The Hebrew words used for Formless = “Tohu” means: waste, desolation, a disorderly muddle. Void = “Vohu” means : empty void”.Tohu Vohu always detailed in the Bible as the results of divine judgement in the following verses.
“I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light” (Jer 4:23)
“ ra·'i·ti et-ha·'a·retz, ve·hin·neh-to·hu va·vo·hu; ve·'el-ha·sha·ma·yim ve·'ein o·v·ram”.( Hebrew OT: Westminster Leningrad Codex Transliterated)

“The desert owl and screech owl will possess it;the great owl and the raven will nest there.God will stretch out over Edom the measuring line of chaos and the plumb line of desolation” ( Isaiah 34:11).
“vi·re·shu·ha ka·'at ve·kip·po·vd, ve·yan·sho·vf ve·'o·rev yish·ke·nu-vah; ve·na·tah a·lei·ha kav-to·hu ve·'av·nei-vo·hu.( Hebrew OT: Westminster Leningrad Codex Transliterated).
