 Other Adventists hold that the universe was created prior to the Creation week, but that planet Earth and its immediate surroundings were created "de novo" at the commencement of that week.Finally, another mainstream Adventist position is that the inorganic matter of planet Earth was created prior to the Creation week and was reshaped into its present inhabitable form during that week.All of these Adventist positions agree that the computed radiometric dates of standard geology are largely irrelevant to dating the creation of life on Earth.
