Was their 'life' of some kind of creation on earth before Adam and Eve? Genesis 1:28 Donna, Jack Van Impe explained what he referred to as the "Gap theory" once. I don't remember the details but there was life on earth before Adam and Eve and then angels slept with women and they ended up with the Nephilims? anyway, the seed was corrupted. It was demonic so God destroyed the earth. Therefore, the book of Genesis is not really the creation but re -creation: when God allowed everything to be in existence again. Some gap people believe satan used to dwell in Eden, the Garden of God, before Adam & Eve were created. And then when the rebellion happen satan was kicked out of heaven with 1/3 angels and they came crashing down on the earth and then God had to restore the earth again. They use Ezekiel 28:13-15 as reference ... Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. I believe in the "gap fact" and REcreation. I believe before Adam and Eve that God flooded the whole entire universe because of Satan. And that for a period of time the earth was floating in water like a fishing bobber "without form and void" It's interesting to note that God also told Noah and his 3 sons to be fruitful and multiply and REplenish the earth right after flooding it out in Gen 9 Nowadays there are a lot of good videos on YT teaching this. It might sound like a "do-over," but that isn't what the Hebrew word means. https://answersingenesis.org/bible-questions/what-does-replenish-the-earth-mean/ 
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and REPLENISH the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.esis 1:28 King James Version (KJV)
