So after the katabole (Satan's Overthrow) and the destruction of the 1st earth age, God prepared this 2nd earth age to be inhabited by His children. Genesis 1 covers this preparation as well as the creation of these flesh bodies and all the races of mankind in Genesis 1:26-31
In Genesis 1:26 God says "Let Us make man in Our image, after our likeness" & in Genesis 1:27 it stipulates that "So God created man in His own image in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them." --We are created in the image of our spiritual bodies (Spiritual & Flesh Bodies)
In Genesis 1:28 it states that "And God blessed them, and God said unto them, 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth'" -- replenish....repopulate the earth as it was in the 1st earth age. If there hadn't been a population prior to this 2nd earth age, then there would not be anything to repopulate or replenish.
Genesis 1:31 And God saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
God was pleased with everything and with all of the races "it was very good." The 6th day creations were many but did not include the set aside man of Adam (eth-Ha adham in the Hebrew, meaning the very specific man...see Appendix explanation below). Adam was formed (not just created) on the 8th day. The distinction and why Adam was set apart both in location as well as day formed is because his seed line would be the seed line to Christ, and it had to be protected. Eve was made from Adam's DNA (stated "rib" in Genesis 2:21). The Bible is the genealogy of Christ and how Satan has tried to impact it over the years (more posts to come on this interference). Eve is called "the mother of all living" in Genesis 3:20 because through her seed line (womb) Christ would come and only through Him can we have everlasting, eternal life.
The age of this 2nd earth age is quite different than the age of this earth (age v earth: Became Void & Without Form / Became Void & Without Form Part 2 / Why The 2nd Earth Age). There are two schools of thought on the exact age of this 2nd earth age: If a day with the Lord is as a 1,000 years as stated in II Peter 3:8 then this 2nd earth age is roughly 13,000 years old. If, however, we say the day(s) are specific 24 hour periods in the specified six days of creation, then this 2nd earth age is roughly 6,000 years old. (see Appendix below on "the day" lending itself to being the latter time.)
