The problem with Dun11x is that he is trying to take an ancient fable and apply science to it. This is just wrong. Not to even mention that it completely misses the literary beauty and purpose of the story.
Now the link to Genesis is: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
It is very apparent to me that you really haven't studied Bereshith (aka Genesis in Greek) in detail. Had you done so, you would realize that 1.1 is the equivalent of a toledoth. It is an introduction to this story and as such tells us what this upcoming section is about, simply, the creation. Note the same type introductions at 2.4, 4.1 and others
1.1 "IN THE beginning G-d created the heaven and the earth."
2.4 "These are the generations of the heaven and of the earth when they were created, in the day that HaShem G-d made earth and heaven. "
4.1 "This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that G-d created man, in the likeness of G-d made He him; "
These introductions (and others that follow in Bereshith) are believed to have been added by the [P]riestly source, who compiled some very old legends/stories in this section.
The earth was empty, a formless mass cloaked in darkness (which is represented to be water in verse 6 of my Bible) . And the Spirit of God was hovering over its surface”; the Spirit of God caused there to be bubbles in the water. “Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.” God spoke into the bubbling water causing the waters to expand and collapse over and over again emitting light. ”
As another poster noted, there is nothing here about bubbles or the waters of the tehom expanding.
Let's read it and explain what this is REALLY about. You might learn something here.
1.2 "Now the earth was unformed and void, and darkness was upon the face of the Tehom (Translated as the deep in english) and the wind/spirit of G-d hovered over the face of the waters[of the Tehom].
(this can equally well be rendered as "and the wind of G-d blew (was blowing) over the surface of the waters(of the Tehom).
What is being described here is the primal state of the universe. The earth does not yet exist. All there is at this point is the "Tehom", the watery chaos.
The wind or spirit (Hebrew ruwach, these 2 ideas[wind,spirit] are not easily separable at this point) and the presence of the creator.
Some Rabbis teach that the "wind" or "spirit" are the result of G-d literally speaking the creation into existence. His breath if you will, as they seem to have thought of it. Next, is the idea of light and darkness ;
1.3 G-d said Let light be and light was
1.4 G-d saw the light [as] good [and] G-d divided the light from the darkness.
1.5 G-d named the light [as] Day the darkness he named Night. Evening and the morning were, one [first] day.
Now, it is on the second day that the heavens (the sky) is created. listen to the story..............
1.6 G-d said Let there be a firmament (a space, an expanse) in the middle of the waters[of the Tehom], and let it(the firmament,space,expanse) divide the waters from the waters.
Note- G-d creates a space in the waters of the Tehom. The ancients saw the water of the sea was blue, as was the sky. They believed their world to exist in the middle of the waters of the Tehom, just as it says. The next verses explain this better. Notice there is an order here, it is create and then it is named. (Some teach a purpose to this idea of speaking into existence(the create), and then to anunciate the name sequence, that the story may also have been used to teach the specifics of their language, but that's beyond or scope here)
1:7 G-d made the firmament that divided the waters under the firmament from the waters above the firmament. It was [so].
The create. We now have an expanse or space in the water of the Tehom, and the firmament is the upper part or barrier. Next, the naming.
1:8 G-d named the firmament Heaven(properly, "sky"). evening and morning were two [second] day.
Now on the third day the earth and seas will be created. Remember this order of sky, seas, land (or earth) as it will be repeated in the creation of the animals. We have the create,....
1.9 G-d said Let the waters under the heaven(sky) be gathered together at one place, let the dry [land] appear. it was [so].
And the naming....
1:10 G-d called the dry [land] Earth; and the gathering of waters he namede Seas: and G-d saw [it was] good.
1:11 G-d said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, [and] the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed [is] in itself, upon the earth: it was so.
1:12 The earth brought forth grass, [and] herb yielding seed after his kind, [and] the tree yielding fruit whose seed [was] in itself, after his kind. G-d saw that [it was] good.
1:13 The evening and morning were the third day.
Now, the order of creation, sky,seas, earth will be repeated.
Well, this is enough I think.
Now, we know that the earth and sky are not an expanse created in the middle of the watery Tehom. But that is what the story tells.
It is a fable but really quite a brilliant piece of literature that teaches their understanding of the natural order of things. (which comes just where I left off).
My point is this.
This is not and was never intended to be a scientific treatise, It is silly to try to make it into one. To do so is to lose the literary beauty of the fable(for its time and language)
Nuff said.
The weak link here is your last paragraph.
Nothing in Genesis talks about bubbles in water.
