Genesis 1:1-3: How is liquid water present prior to 'light'?

Those such as Henry Morris seem to teach that the 'light' of Genesis 1:3 is physical energy, and this being first created or introduced into a primordial condition of cosmic physics. But if physical energy is first created or introduced only at this point in Creation Week (v. 3), then what do we make of the seeming H2O, and this in liquid form, in v. 2?

Or, if this is actual, and liquid, water, what may we make of this 'light' of v. 3? And in that case, what do we make of v. 1?

There is everywhere in the heavens sources of light, both visible to humans and invisible to humans. There are countless sources of physical energy 'out there'; stars and galaxies and other things that emit light.

But water----liquid water----is the single most basic thing for life. And liquid water does not exist without some source of energy. This implies there the single most basic thing for life is that of a kind of 'marriage' between H2O and a source of energy.

1 rotation of the earth = 1 day

day one earth and light without form Gen 1:3,4

day two and three gave form to the earth

I don't understand what the challenge is. Are you saying that God could not have made liquid water without energy?

What do humans know for a fact about things they are just beginning to study? There seems to be no evidence of water on any other heavenly orb we know, yet there is a perpetual effort by secularists to try to find it somewhere besides earth, the only heavenly body hospitable to life we know. I remember when Pluto was a planet and then it was not. I remember when there were 2 trillion galaxies in the universe and now we are told there are not. Scientists are in search of truth and many times they promote lies by prematurely publishing one thing that later turns out to be untrue as revealed by new research.

“ In the beginning God created the heaveN and the earth “
It was not heaven that was in darkness but the earth .Gen 1:2
“For heaven needs no sun or moon for God is the light thereof”
It was not God who was in darkness but man.
“ For God is light and in Him there is no darkness nor shadow of turning “
God always brings light before Hecstarts a work.
Even as God commanded the light to shine in the beginning . So too did God” command the light to shine in our hearts “
