Well kumbaja sir.  I will, however, suggest to you that "shapeless and void" could well describe the absense of matter as easily as unfilled.  The beauty of language and its lack of precision gives the world a great gift, does it not?

And while we may agree that there are literalists among the great body of those who view the Bible as a sacred tome, we can also agree that they are a minority of that great body and we should not seek to use that minority as a cudgel with which to paint all who may not share our views, can't we?  Passion is itself a great gift, but it shouldn't be allowed to silence reason when inflamed.
