for what great sin do you suppose God covered the earth in a flood of water in Genesis 1, before creating the first man, Adam?
The angels in the prehistoric creation had dominion over all the animals, like Adam had dominion in this creation.
Satan rebelled against the authority of God and took many angels with him.
Then, God had that created world destroyed in a universal flood.
That is why we see Genesis beginning with....
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form,
and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
6 Then God said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.”
7 Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which
were above the firmament; and it was so. 8 And God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning
were the second day.
9 Then God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear”;
and it was so. 10 And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas. And God
saw that it was good.
