Lucifer was the first to be exalted in pride; and he and his angelic followers were the first to attempt the overthrow of God’s government. They were responsible for earth’s first sinful career. Had they remained true to God there would have been no flood and chaos as in Gen. 1:2; and therefore, No need of the 6 days of 1:3-2:25 to restore the earth to a second habitable state, and no need for the creation of new land animals, fish, fowls, and man to rule the planet earth. Lucifer and the pre-adamites would have continued to live on the earth and carry out the plan of dominion over the earth now designed for man. The entire Bible message is centered around the complete redemption of man which includes ridding the earth of all rebellion, so that in the new heavens and the new earth, the original state of the universal kingdom of God will be fully restored, and God willbe all and all eternally ( Cor.15:24-28; Eph. 1:10; Rev. 21-22)
