With a total of 10 words or so about the conditions existing at the time of creation, it is very difficult to agree to the image or diagram shown.
Many of Moses sections follow this pattern of writing:
1, title statement
2, pre-existing condition
3, new action
4, summary statement
We don't know why the pre-existing condition was there, but the expression 'formless and void' (tohu wa-bohu) was only used in the OT when a place had been devastated/destroyed, Jer. 4:22 for one. It then needed to be rebuilt.
If you follow the descriptions of the deluge (Noah's) in the Bible, you pretty much conclude there was very little of the geo-morphology that we see all around today before the flood. Everything was pretty flat and arable. Uniformitarianism certainly has no way to account for most geo-morphology seen today. There are even some theories that the earth was smaller before the flood.
Back to the OP question: everything is therefore 'on the table.' The Creators sheer command is 'how' things are made, or not, leaving very little opportunity to 'check' things scientifically as far as 'processes' go. This kind of Creator is found, by the way, in many origin-myths around the world. (It is always hilarious to me that people who don't believe in God also come packing all kinds of restrictions on what he could or could not do!).
Our 'scientific processes' would tell us that there shouldn't be light in the first verses because the sun is made on the 3rd day, but this only confuses the issue of the type and abilities of Creator we are grappling with. There are other kinds of light, and there are other ways of putting things such as our solar system together.
