Jerry, I hopeya study it THOROUGHLY. You seemta have picked up some awfully silly ideas somewhere. 'Tis ridiculous to say God created man on the 6th day but didn't make him yet! All GOD hadta do was think "Let there be a man" and there woulda been a man. However, he chose to make man outta the dust. He said, "Let US(Himself, Jesus, the Holy Spirit) make man...".
As for "heaven/heavens", the same Hebrew word, "shamayim ", is rendered both ways in the KJV, between Genesis 1 & 2 for starters. To say the MVs are incorrect by rendering it 'heavens' where the KJV & s'others say 'heaven' is an error. the reference in Gen. 1 & 2 are to the SKY, as man sees it, the current appearance of the heavenly bodies as seen from different spots on earth. This has not always been the same as it is now. Moses knew this, and this is what he was referring to.
I believe we all agree that there's no such thing as evolution among the plants' animals. thus, the fossil records reveal the existence of many life forms no longer extant upon the earth, while there are no fossils of most current life forms to be found. (I don't believe Kent Hovind's trash as far as I can toss the Rocka Gibraltar!) And when fossils of current life forms are found, they are identical in just about every respect except size. For example, the ancient horses were no larger than collies; some species of dragonflies had foot-wide wingspans. Roaches were 3 inches long. Ancient capybaras(currently the largest-known rodents, were no larger than mice.(Present-day capybaras are sometimes 4 feet long, weighing some 140 lbs.)
And God told Noah to take a pair of EVERY animal species on the ark. I'm sure GOD used His power to supply Noah with many of these critters, & placed them in a state of estivation so they wouldn't require food, "use the bathroom", or fight while together on the ark. I don't believe any animal species then alive was written off by God. I believe the dinosaurs, & many mammals(smilodons, mastodons, etc.)were already extinct. And please, don't anyone insult our, or your own, intelligence by saying those beasts never existed!
And remember, GOD hasn't stopped creating! There are new species of plants & animals discovered every year! And these species have NOT simply been overlooked by man! Usually, they're discovered by outdoors-living hunter/gatherer folx who know every living species of plant/animal in their environments. So, what's to have prevented GOD from making new people from dust, from nothing, or whatever?
For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. Heb. 4:3
