By comparing Genesis 1:1-18 with John 1:1-18 we can understand that the two chapters are describing different events.

There are a few words that are common to both Genesis 1 and John 1, like "in, beginning, light, and darkness", but the words have a different meaning than in Genesis.

Many key words which are in Genesis 1:1-5 which are not in John 1:1-5: created, heavens, earth, waters, face of the deep, spirit of God, hovering, evening, morning, day, night, first day

Many key words in John 1:1-5 which are not in Genesis 1:1-5: word, with God, he (that one) was in the beginning with God, all (things), through him, life, light of men, overcome/comprehend. 

 Then, in verses 6-18, everything is different.

John 1 has a different context, describes different events, than Genesis 1. https://www.youtube.com/@billschlegel1

"In the beginning was..." Or, John 1:1 is not about the Genesis Creation. https://youtu.be/b8sKQC63ESY
