There are 3 earth ages (II Pet.3:5-7), same earth but different ages. We are now in the 2nd earth age. Between Gen.1:1 and Gen.1:2 is a vast amount of time, if time existed. Between these 2 verses is Satan’s rebellion (Rev.12:3-4) and “his tail” drew 1/3 of God’s children. Between these 2 verses also belongs all fossils and remains, such as Dinosaurs.
In Gen.1:2 we have the of the end of the 1st earth age and the beginning of the 2nd. For clarity Gen.1:2 needs to be divided (see below).
(A) Gen.1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
(B) Gen.1:2 And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
In (A) Gen.1:2 the first occurrence of the word “was” has been corrupted and is “became”. It reads “And the earth became without form, and void”. The end of the 1st earth age.
In (B) Gen.1:2 we have the beginning of 2nd earth age, the one we live in now. Man did not exist in flesh till this earth age.
Between (A & B) Gen.1:2 is also a vast amount of time, if time existed. Between (A & B) Gen.1:2 is; a global flood (not Noah’s which was a local flood), the destruction of Atlantis, the breakup of Gondwana Land, and the Ice Age.

Yes, much happened and no, its easy to accept that something other than happenstance formed the universe. Why do those who have no solid belief structure have such a hard time with the easier aspects of God? Could it be that they need to contemplate before speaking?

The question here isn't really clear. Are you talking about what happened before everything or are you asking about evolution? When you write questions, please try to be a little more clear that way you can get the exact results you want and need.

No. when you can define 'beginning' from Gods perspective then you will know.
There is nothing in the text to indicate anything happened before.

I didn't really care what happened before hand.
