Well, actually, there are at least 4 and as many as 6.

#1 Polyphylogenetic Theory.

#2 Classical Darwinism Theory.

#3 Mutation theory of De Vries.

#4 Neo-Darwinism Theory.

#5 Lamarckism,

#6 Catastrophism

#7 Unafortariansim

But in reality there are none. A theory must be able to make predictions.

Bzzzzt. Not Scriptural since One Heaven was made on the 2nd Day Genesis 1:8 and the otherS were made on the 3rd Day. Genesis 2:4

The first Heaven was totally destroyed in the flood. ll Peter 3:6
The present 2nd Heaven will be burned. ll Peter 3:10
The 3rd Heaven is the object of the Creation and where God is and where all Christians will live with Jesus forever. ll Cor 12:2 Amen?

Unscriptural.

"Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:" 2 Peter 3:6

The world perished being overflowed with water, not the air where the birds flew. The bird from the Ark was still capable of flying after the rain stopped to look for ground.

144,000 will live as priests. God comes down to earth to dwell with mankind. Not all of mankind to dwell with God.

Revelation 21:2-3

"And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God."

Just as He dwelt with man in the tabernacle with the Ark of the Covenant.
It comes down out of heaven to be with mankind.

And new heavens will be created
Isiah 65:17

and that is where we will dwell, In the Paradise earth just as orioginally planned.

“They will build houses and inhabit them;
They will also plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
22 “They will not build and another inhabit,
They will not plant and another eat;
For as the lifetime of a tree, so will be the days of My people,
And My chosen ones will wear out the work of their hands.

And an existing state of being formless and void is nether a completed or perfected action or condition.
I do not believe God is an idiot who does not understand Hebrew grammar. The "perfect" tense indicates a "perfected" or "completed" state. And היתה is in the perfect tense.

And "became" is completed. "was" is a prior condition showing no completion. I'm sure He understood it perfectly.

Just as He and Adam understood Eve was to "become" the mother of all living, but was not then the mother of anyone.....

These aren't competing mechanisms, they are complementary mechanisms that all fall under the Theory of Evolution.

God's creation continues today at Genesis 1:27 since God, the Trinity, is STILL creating mankind in His Image or Spiritually in Christ. Ask any Gospel preacher.

The prophecy of Genesis 1:28-31 is FUTURE to our time, since there has NEVER been a time in History when "Gen 1:30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so" ALL living creatures were vegetarians, including Bears and Lions.

If you don't believe me, then show us a time when Lions were vegetarians in the past. You cannot, but go ahead and try. God Bless you

"Became" is an active verb. "Was" is a state of being verb.
Which fits your view of QAL being a completed action in what way? It "was" active, it "became" but wasn't always so and wouldn't always be so.

Notice that "was" in my sentence points to a past existence. Was is never used to describe a present condition. You don't say I "was" a potter to explain your current occupation, or to explain how you became a potter when previously employed in another field.

You don't say I was a father to all my children, you say I became a father to point to a future condition.

Eve was not the mother of all living when Adam named her. She became the mother of all living. A verb of action, not a state of being. She was not a mother, no other people existed. But, she was to become the mother of all living. An action to be completed in the future. A change of one state to another as the QAL perfect always implies.

So God had no dwelling place for eternity before He created His dwelling place when creating the earth and heavens?
I'm not sure what you're asking, but God created three heavens in Genesis 1.

2 Corinthians 12:2c ... such an one caught up to the third heaven.

This is why "heaven" is singular in Verse 1 and plural after creation is finished.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Genesis 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

השׁמים is never singular. It is either dual or plural.

Bear in mind that you're talking to some one who believes that the bible was originally written in Jacobean English - which was spoken universally from creation until the Tower of Babel episode.

Logic or reasoned argument won't work here.

I realize that where the King James Bible differs from the Hebrew, the Hebrew is wrong; but can any of you tongues speakers tell me what word Moses used for "heaven" (singular) before Satan wrote Strong's Concordance and changed it?

And if that word came from the Masterwreckeded Text or Textis Disrespectus, who put it there?

Peter S. Ruckman would be proud of me. ;)
