Even if Lions were plant eaters...the verse is still future.
Ptior to the fall of Adam and Eve in the garden I believe Lions were plant eaters.
Actually, I think God created the Universe in which we live, at the beginning of the fourth day of the Creation.You're right....God did it in six.

It's not complete according to the Hebrew imperfect tense of the word, BUT it is in the past IF you look at it in English tense. That is WHY God told us:
2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
God hid His Truth from unbelievers by making it available ONLY to those who are born Spiritually in Christ. 1Co 2:14 Amen?
I think He did it according to the heaven and the earth of the third day of the Creation, the day in which He arose from the grave.Yes, God spread out the stars....lots of interesting theories on how He did it.
I think He did it according to the heaven and the earth of the third day of the Creation, the day in which He arose from the grave, alive for evermore.
That is not what I believe.You might enjoy this...
I believe that today is the fourth day of the Creation, the last fourth day, the day He made the stars also, Genesis 1:16.What do you believe?
Genesis 1 is, amongst other things, a quiet polemic against the pagan gods. Whereas they were thought of as having responsibility for different aspects of creation, Genesis 1 is saying that the God of Israel is Creator and Lord of all things.
No God did not create the universe in seven days.
No God made the universe, the 'heavens and the earth', in an instant. The creation of life in general and man in particular happened over the space of 6 days but the actual creation didn't take all day. The phrase, 'heaven and the earth', is a Hebrew expression meaning the universe. All we really get from this passage is that the cosmos and earth were created, 'in the beginning'. The perspective of creation week is from the surface of the earth, starting with the Spirit of God hovering over the deep (Gen. 1:2). In the chapter there are three words used for God's work in creation. The first is 'created' ('bara' H1254) a very precise term used only of God.
Create ‘bara’ (H1254) - 'This verb has profound theological significance, since it has only God as it’s subject. Only God can create in the sense implied by bara. The verb expresses the idea of creation out of nothing...(Vines Expository Dictionary)It is used once to describe the creation of the universe (Gen 1:1), then again to describe the creation of life (Gen 1:21). Finally, in the closing verses, it is used three times for the creation of Adam and Eve (Gen. 1:27).
The doctrine of creation isn't just an historical narrative that can be taken literally or figuratively, it's a New Testament doctrine inextricably linked to original sin. The Scriptures offer an explanation for man's fallen nature, how we inherited it exactly is not important but when Adam and Eve sinned we did not fast. This is affirmed in the New Testament in no uncertain terms by Luke in his genealogy, in Paul's exposition of the Gospel in Romans and even Jesus called the marriage of Adam and Eve 'the beginning'.
Grace and peace,
Mark

Perhaps you could answer St Augustine's question. How did there come to be days and nights before there was a Sun?

One very simple answer....Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light...later that light was replaced by the sun.
Your problem is this....while you are trying to rightly divide the word of truth...you wrongfully divide the days of creation.
I believe the heaven and the earth were created from the beginning, which is the everlasting/first day. This is where scripture comes from; up until the book of Psalms. The book of Psalms was said for the second day. The Spirit of God speaks from Genesis 1:2 in Proverbs 8:22, from the third day, which lasts throughout the remainder of the Bible.
Okay, what do you need to know?Believing doesn't make it so as the following verse shows:
Jas 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
