How old do you think the universe is?

Notice these verses, and realize that the Hebrew word for WITHOUT FORM is the same Hebrew word for VAIN.

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.
(Isaiah 45:18 KJV)

That's the same thing as saying...

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 without form, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
(Isaiah 45:18 KJV)

Then we read :

"And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."
(Genesis 1:2 KJV)

If earth was not without form when it was created in verse 1 (according to Isaiah), why does verse 2 says it was without form?
