This period is the great Ice Age of the earth. All physical life on the earth has been destroyed. He creates Man from the dust of the earth and gives him authority over all physical things.

When the serpent tempts Eve and Adam transgresses, Satan regains power and authority over the physical cosmos.
Death now enters the new world.
The prophecy of the Savior to come to redeem all things. Many centuries after man was created, then fell, his race has multiplied and the earth is filled with violence. God sends a flood and destroys all flesh except Noah's family and the animals on the ark. Following the flood, world weather patterns change, life spans decrease, and the post flood world is a very different place. Noah's descendents replace the chief occupants of the pre-flood world.
