Best Answer

In the beginning when God created the universe, the earth was pre-existing and without form. Robert Alter (Genesis Translation and Commentary) correctly translates the first sentence of Genesis as "When God began to create heaven and earth, and the water was welter and waste and darkness over the deep and God's breath [the wind] hovering over the waters ..." On day 3, God gathered the lower waters in one place the land appeared.

What did it mean in the bible that the word was made flesh?

It simply means that God's main Spokesman (the Word), became flesh; (was sent to earth and was born as a human being). There is no flesh in in the spirit realm; that's why it's called the 'spirit' realm. God is a spirit. Before the Universe existed, God existed. God is not a physical being; He is not confined by the physical laws of the Universe. God created the physical things from himself. 'In the beginning, God created heaven and earth.' But God of course existed before 'the beginning'.

Did God discover Earth?

Jehovah God did not 'discover' earth. According to the Bible, He 'created' it. He created it in what the Bible calls: "in the beginning" (Gen 1:1) Of course God existed BEFORE the beginning. God is 'eternal', meaning he has no beginning. Therefore God has no Creator. God creates various 'beginnings'. The very first thing God ever created, was 'things like himself'. God is a spirit, and he created 'spirit-beings' like himself. They're called 'angels'. Even they were created before the 'heaven and earth'. They were created before there was anything 'physical'. God and the angels exist 'seperate' and 'outside' the physical Universe. They are not dependent on light, nor heat. God created these things from himself.
