Some say the earth was Void and others say it was Chaos so what's the difference"?

Question

Easter Guilt. What's the difference between void and chaos?
Dumb question, I know. Just woke up.
Thanks for your time and patience.

Answer 1

Void is emptyness. Like the 'inside' of an empty hole.

Chaos is disorganisation. Lots of stuff, piled up in an unorganised way, like the stuff dug up to make 'room' for the hole.

Whatever your theory for Earth's creation (proto-solar disk, accretion, etc. or divine creation) you can just as easily create theories to have Earth created from one state or from another.

(Before the disk of gas and dust collapsed onto itself, there was nothing; while it was collapsing and after the proto-sun collected most of the mass, what was left was pretty chaotic)

Answer 2

Void is nothing, with everything either a perfectly still piece of barren rock, or nothing at all. With chaos there is at least change, albeit destructive change. But, through Chaos comes order, and that chaos has given us a great planet to live on. (Even though We are destroying it better than chaos ever could.)

Answer 3

Happy Easter. Your question is one for the Religion segment, not the Physics segment. I suppose that you could think of the world as nonexistent, then unorganized, and then terraformed - sort of void, then chaotic, then "real."
