There are also scientific problems with the concept that each of the creation days was a long period of time.

Essentially this promise before curse, this superiority of God's love in Christ, must come from the Bible.

Time is not eternal but was created by God at the beginning.

But, when Scripture makes a clear distinction between the act of creation and the process of preservation, we cannot accept the idea of a progressive creation process.

Being made in the image of God, man was the crown of creation.

If we knew exactly what animal life was like before the fall into sin and knew what nature was like before the law of entropy invaded it, we would already be living in heaven.
