lafile: simple question: was there a world before Genesis 1? if not please answer these questions.
1. there is no record of the creation of water in genesis 1. so when was it created?

---> There was no world before Adam and Eve. ie no human existed before Adam and Eve.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

firstly, the bible did not tell us how long it took for God to create the heaven and earth in gen 1:1. So the heaven and the earth was already there with water.

the creation of heaven and earth the bible reported how it was made was that brought about by the separation of the expanse God made to demarcate the atmospheric heavens and the earth. the earth which the bible reported how it was created is the land, which came when God channeled the water to the sea. Meaning that land was already existing, but was covered by water. for eg, visualize a sea in your mind. as you see the sea covered with water, you cant call it land but sea or water. But what if all the waters in the sea are channeled away, the land will appear. this is exactly how the earth was before, formless, filled with water, but land was benearth it.

verse 6 - 10

"And God went on to say: “Let an expanse come to be in between the waters and let a dividing occur between the waters and the waters.” 7 Then God proceeded to make the expanse and to make a division between the waters that should be beneath the expanse and the waters that should be above the expanse. And it came to be so. 8 And God began to call the expanse Heaven. And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, a second day."

9 And God went on to say: “Let the waters under the heavens be brought together into one place and let the dry land appear.” And it came to be so. 10 And God began calling the dry land Earth, but the bringing together of the waters he called Seas. Further, God saw that [it was] good.

But as for the heaven and earth at gen. 1:1 that God created in the beginning, we are not told when and how God created it.

2. what did God mean when He asked man to re-plenish the earth? remember replenish means to fill up something that has been depleted.

Some have answered it. I agree with them, Fill the earth.

3. when God banished lucifer from heaven which earth did he fall to? was it the one that already contained adam and eve?

Of course, that of Adam and Eve. The bible did not describe other planet for us. And Satan ousting did not happen before the creation of Adam and Eve.
