Death did not enter the world until man Man sinned.
Romans 5.12:
[SUP]12 [/SUP]Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned
This is also why the Way to the Tree of life was guarded. God did not want man to live forever in SIN.
Gen 3.22
[SUP]22 [/SUP]Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil; and now, he might stretch out his hand, and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever”

"Sorry, but you have mis-read the Strong's definition..."
You took your notion from:
"to exist; i.e. be or become, come to pass" ( "[to] be"; "[to] become"; "[to] come to pass" )
'to exist' is the main definition; the 'i.e.' part is descriptive of the "sense and tense" of the word 'exist'
back to the verse -- 'was' accentuates 'earth', not 'without form and void':
"And the earth was." ( existed - "to be" [ stand-alone ] )
or
"And the earth existed without form and void" / "And the earth was in existence without form and void"
"without form and void" is descriptive of how the earth was ( i.e. - the 'state' in which it existed; it does not indicate that it "changed states" )
The only proper way to interject "come to pass" into this would be:
"And [ it came to pass that ] the earth was."
It is not saying that the earth became "without form and void" - it is saying, in effect, that ( we would say, today ) "it already was":
"And the earth was without form and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep."
'darkness' did not become ( as in, change ) "upon the face of the deep" -- "it already was" upon the face of the deep...
Both 'was' words came from the Hebrew word defined by Strong's 1961.

Jeremiah 4 is not about earth! It is about Israel.
Fossils do not take millions/billions of years to form.
When Mount St. Helens erupted back in 80, and scientists were finally allowed entry, they found millions of new fossils.
They were made instantly due to the destruction and flood waters. Several layers of sediment were formed instantly at Mount St Helens. That is one of the single greatest evidences for the fossil record modern day science states takes billions of years to create.
I think CHristians miss the fact about the great flood, that it was a cataclysmic event. The fountains of the deep broke apart.
Ask yourself this: If what the Bible says about the Flood were true, what would we expect to see?
Fossil records in different layers of sediments? Yes.
