In The Beginning EON (Age of humankind)

THEOS the Father. THEOS, the source of everything. With no beginning and no end.

THEOS the Son, CHRIST. The Son, firstborn of all creation (Col 1:15-18). In divine essence eternal. In personhood with a specific beginning as the word 'Son' and
Micah 5:2 ('His origins were from the beginning, from the days of the age.') indicate. JESUS CHRIST is also called in Rev 3:14 'the beginning
of THEOS' creation'! Long before humanity. With no end (eternity).

Pre-Incarnate ANGEL OF KYRIOS

Event / Comment Scripture

... the SON He loves, in whom we have the redemption, the forgiveness of sins, who is the image of the invisible THEOS, the Col

Prologue
invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or powers, all things were created through Him and for Him, and He Himself
is before all things, and in Him all things are held together, and He Himself is the head of the body, the church ...

... He has spoken to us by a SON [JESUS CHRIST], whom He appointed Heir of all things, through whom also He made the world, Heb
1:1-3
who is the radiance of His glory and the representation of His essence, sustaining all things by the word of power.

Both Old Earth Creationism (OEC) and Young Earth Creationism (YEC) miss the mark - and only deepen the split by assuming
Definitions two extreme and unbiblical positions.

The Bible actually teaches us a what I would coin as Old Earth-Young Creation (OEYC) - with a planet earth pre-existing since an
unknown time, being 'furnished' in ~ 5500 BC in a spontaneous and divine act within 6 literal days with the first animals, humans
and plants, while engineering the existing waters the HOLY SPIRIT was hovering over, into an intelligently designed water cycle.

- Before the Creation Week -

Genesis 1:1 "In a [not 'the'] beginning, THEOS made the Heaven and the earth."

The 'Heaven' in Genesis 1:1 cannot refer to our sky with its clouds and winds, because this is clearly part of creation day #2.
The It either refers to the Spiritual Heaven which is clearly not part of the creation week and existed long before the earth
