Genesis opens with the Earth already present and created.

Well, I already quoted Genesis 1:1, and of course it states "In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth." and goes on to say ( in 1:2 ), "And the earth was without form ..." etc. So, that's the way God created it. That's why I say it's naturalistic, in that it intimates that the initial creation must needs be in "rough form".

Forgive me if I see in this Laplace's nebular hypothesis.

Except planted in Isaiah 45:18 For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord; and there is none else.

So God did not 'create' the earth without form, and not in vain, it became that way.
