You’re deeply confused!

The entirety of creation was 6000 years ago.

“You’re deeply confused!”

You must have not done what I suggested. Again, take out a pencil and paper and write down what was created during the six days.

As in:

Day 1 - Light, day and night

Day 2 - Atmosphere, etc. Water is here, was not created on day 1.

Day 3 - Water and land gathered together. Gathered, not created. Vegetation - as first life forms.

Day - 4 - Sun and moon, etc.

Day - 5 - Animals, birds, fish, etc.

Day - 6 - Mankind

I think it is in Isaiah where God is talking about the one who became Satan who was set up on earth to rule over the nations - referring to a pre-adamic creation that appears destroyed in Gen. 1:1. He, instead, rebelled and attacked heaven itself.

May explain how Satan could legally offer the world’s kingdoms to Christ during the forty days temptation. If the world’s kingdoms were not his to give, Jesus would have known it as a lie and not a temptation.

Also, the Bible is hardly a scientific treatise. Genesis 1 is written mostly to introduce God and show that He controls history.
