Actually this popular statement is incorrect. It might be better stated that we have no history showing that God created anything without form or void, but even that statement assumes an instantanious creation. Also, both of those questions assume there was a creation prior to Gen 1:2 and there was a "gap" between verse 1 and 2.
FYI - I am not a young earther, I am simply pointing out the fallacies within the argument.
