The history of the Earth has many geological 'time periods'. Does the book of Genesis begin, with a 'new' Earth? It seems to make sense, that God changed the Earth, in order for humans to survive, before creating modern man, and the animal kingdom, as we know it today. It appears that God has changed the Earth in the past, also, as evidence is given through the different geological time periods. We also see, that before the Flood, that during man's existence, it had never rained upon the earth, until the Flood.
Trying to connect the 'new' Earth to the past, is a useless exercise. Modern man and creatures/plants required for our existence, may have no connection to the past, at all. We do find, that in some cases, some animal life (and perhaps plant life) did in fact exist (and were carried forward) on the 'old' Earth. The various 'grains' needed by modern man, would have had no use in the pre-historic period, as seeds have to be collected and planted by man. Just a thought.
