This is an AFFIRMATION of God's purposeful creation of the Universe and man. Everything existed in the mind of God before it came into physical being. The fact that I am the product of a mechanistically random shuffling of my grandparents chromosomes does not mean that God did not know me and know what I would be.
What else is left is what I and many others believe. That God brought the world into being, and that the stars being created right now through gravity and nuclear fusion are just as much created by God as our own, and the data suggests they were formed through the same mechanism.
A literal interpretation however would suggest that the Sun was created subsequent to the Earth during the “morning and evening” of the fourth “day” - all mornings evenings and days without a Sun - whatever that means in a “literal” sense. And all days to the Lord, which were told are “as to a thousand years” which again I don't think is meant in any mathematical sense.
How does your scenario apply to Christianity? i.e...God created Man in His own image, Man rebelled and fell from grace of God, God became Man as Christ and was crucified to redeem Man. By choosing to believe in Christ, Man is saved and goes to Heaven and is with God, otherwise he goes to Hell, and is without God.
