You're right. The very first sentence of the Bible is incredibly misleading, and you'll often have apologists darting around it and inserting things where they shouldn't go (a risky tactic... perhaps they haven't read the end of Revelation where it says that whoever adds to or modifies the Bible is damned).
When was the beginning? What was the beginning? If God has no beginning, then whose beginning is it referring to? What was God doing BEFORE this beginning? Why did he suddenly decide to create the heavens and the earth? Why couldn't he have created something else first?
Genesis raises more questions than it answers.

Difficult question. Anxious to see if any real good answers, because most people just say he always was. Was he bored off his rocker before this world was, or was there other worlds? Did he have god-parents?

Steve, Frank, and a few other frat brothers made it up.
