Pre-Fall Era

Time-Span: 6,000 years ago

The Bible tells us in the book of Genesis that God created everything in six days about 6,000 years ago. It doesn't go into a whole lot of detail about the first time period in Earth's history, but it does explain that what God made was “very good” as He put it. During this period, along with the creation of our planet and outer space, animal and plant life, humans, water, atmosphere and many other things were created by God on the first six days of this period.

On Day 1, God created light, time and space; Day 2 was used to create the atmosphere; on Day 3, God made all the baramins of plant and made dry land appear; on Day 4, God put the sun, moons, stars and planets into place; Day 5, our Creator made the sea and flying creatures; Day 6 was used to create land animals and man.

Creationists also know that God made everything in six, literal 24-hour days. Many people think that God created everything over a long extended period of time and that the six days described in Genesis were really millions of years of time. This can't be the case for a number of reasons such as the fact that  in the original Hebrew text, the word for “day” is “yom”. When “yom” is used to mean a 24-hour day, it will be used with the words “evening”, “morning” or with a number. This is how it is used in Genesis chapter 1.

Paleogeography:

During this time, the earth was probably one supercontinent called Rodinia. This supercontinent later broke up during Noah's Flood.

Fauna:

God created all the different baramins, or “created kinds” of animals and humans during this period. There is variation within each “kind” due to natural selection, but they don't change from one animal into another totally different kind of animal like evolution teaches.

Flora:

God created plants on Day 3 of the creation week.

End of the Period:

This period was the most serene in earth's history, and it was ended by a sudden act of disobedience in the Garden of Eden from the first humans: Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve disobeyed God's order not to eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. They ate from the tree anyway (partially thanks to the fact that Satan, disguised as a serpent tempted them into eating the tree's fruit, but Adam and Eve were still guilty). God clothed Adam and Eve and banished them from the Garden. Adam and Eve's disobedience was the very first sin and the punishments included eventual death, bloodshed, disease and countless others. This will only be restored after the return of Jesus Christ.
