I will address this post and Old hermits question. First, I already said that I believed that the scripture in Job was referring to the first age and the sons of God was the humans of that age. So it all ties in.
This has all been the plan of God before any creation...for His Son was crucified before creation...remember that?
There has been "in the fulness of time" in all things. Or when the time was right...the law was given...when the time was right, the Saviour came....when the time is right...satan is done away with and a new creation of God with men.
True?

Why would you say that?
Gen 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Yep, Gen 1:2 would better be rendered..
And the earth became a desolation and a worthless thing.
The result of Satan's rebellion.

This is from my Oxford bible
The beginning of the earth may have been countless ages ago. This is in no way contradictory to the Bible. We know that when God first created the earth, it was perfect. It is thought that the angel Lucifer lived on the earth for a time, perhaps as it's king. He has been identified with the King of Tyre, Ezk 28: 13- 15, but Lucifer became the one whom we know as satan, or the devil, for he became proud and wanted to be as great as God. Isa 14:14. For this sin God had to punish him Ezk 28:16. Although his power and majesty were not taken from him, his beauty was corrupted, his wisdom was changed to cunning, his intimate relationship with God was over, and this earth was destroyed. Jer. 2:23. It is thought that the earth was tilted out of its place; the oceans overflowed. Every living thing died instantly from the terrible cold (ice age) that seized the earth. The fossils (animals or plants, or traces of animals or plants buried or preserved in solid rocks or caves) are all that is left of that former creation.
There are two periods of time, each of which may have been thousands of years long. One of these took place between the time when the earth was first created perfect. Gen 1:1, and when it was laid waste. Gen 1: 2. the other period of time took place between the moment when the earth was laid waste and the re creation. The story of the recreation begins with the second sentence of Gen 1: 2.
