"there was evening and there was morning, the first day" - This record represents the first day of History; this is not the first day of the beginning.
In Job we read: "where were you when I laid the foundation of the world"? Laying the foundation is not recorded in any of the 6 days of this creation. Also, God separated the waters from the waters, but the waters are not recorded in the 6 days as having been created then, and niether the heavens. We know that before the First day, in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. It was here, before the first day, that Satan was cast out of heaven and on to the earth..."and the earth was void and formless, and darkness was upon the surface of the deep", the end of pre-history. God said, on the first day, "Let there be light"; Morning and Evening - Day One, first recorded day in History, beginning of time.
