I don't have to ask my nephew. I believe it myself; God can do anything. The question at hand is, what did He do?
Did He do it the way some Christians misinterpret an old Hebrew creation story? Or did He do it according to what science has concluded?
Because we have lawyers for that.....
You do realize that for every scientific conclusion on one team, there is a symmetrical
and opposite expert conclusion on the other side?
This question is assuming evolution is true, and that there was not a special creation which would have all the genes or DNA necessary to produce all the types of dogs that exists today.

It's not like everyone kneels before one science expert.
God bless youI'm on it, bro.
Unless we have other verses that support that conclusion I would call it into question. What in your opinion is the corner stone of the universe? (also world)?Notice that it says all the angels. Why would the fallen angels rejoice at earth's creation?
No. More like the early stages of a pizza in the oven, not yet cooked. Or of a loaf of bread that is not yet risen into form.Genesis 1:2 isn't about creation but the condition of the earth at that moment: a chaotic wasteland covered with water and plunged into darkness. In other words a state of ruin.

What if it is Jesus? If a universe was being wired to respond to Jesus before it was made, maybe that could be called laying the cornerstone? If He knew everyone that was ever to be born, and had books before we were created it seems something was going on before day one of the actual creation week, no? How much 'time' would that involve? I don't know when the rebellion of angels took place. Some seem to want to place that around the time of Eden. I somehow loathe to accept that position. I certainly am very wary of people trying to build a complete understanding of the bible based on such assumptions. Yes there was a garden of God and coals of fire mentioned where Lucifer used to hang out. That does not have to mean the garden of Eden as far as I am aware.
So it is unknown as to the exact timing and sequence of events surrounding the rebellion of angels. My general opinion and feeling is that this earth was brand new. Something not related to the rebellion, but maybe more like a new way of doing things. That might explain why the devil seems to hate man, and free will etc.

I think the garden was planted on earth, so there was some layer here. If that was what they used to call the Precambrian, well that could make sense. Even if there are little fossils in it, many creatures could burrow, sink, or otherwise get in that I would think.Do you believe that the entire geologic record has been laid down since Adam and Eve?
No. The mountains probably came about the same time as the nature change and continental separation! The original created mountains, I have heard many speculate, were likely more like the Appalachians than the Rockies. So when the waters of the flood covered the highest mountains then, it was not miles high.The ruin, evidenced by catastrophic upheaval, lays just beneath the surface (earthquakes) and also pokes out of it (the mountains). There is no way to reconcile this condition with a young earth.
There is no opposing expert conclusion to evolution. The current available body of facts about reality show that the theory of evolution by natural selection is the best explanation for the diversity of life on this planet.

My error. Scientific expert testimony is presented on both sides.
You persist in the delusion that scientists come to identical conclusions
even though the entire history of science is based on the opposite.
As the director of the Human Genome Project, I have led a consortium of scientists to read out the 3.1 billion letters of the human genome, our own DNA instruction book. As a believer, I see DNA, the information molecule of all living things, as God's language, and the elegance and complexity of our own bodies and the rest of nature as a reflection of God's plan.
The same applies to scientists.
