In Genesis, it never says that God created the universe after the "universal war" between the angels and satan/followers. Correct. But the bible is a lot larger than only Genesis. Jesus, Himself, says, "I saw Satan fall from Heaven like lightening." Also, it's clear you've never taken theology(Which all priests are required to do). To be honest, you should just stop talking BADecker. Even the priest at my local church would frown/laugh at what you've written. The Genesis portion of the bible is considered by most biblical historians to be Symbolic, and not literal, especially since back when these chapters were supposedly written, there Were No 24 hour Day Calendars aka The gregorian calendar did not exist yet, which is why "God creating the universe is 6 days" is regarded as Symbolic. "The evening and the morning were the first day." Nothing hard to understand about this except why people want to corrupt the simple understanding of what the Bible says. You and whoever else believes that God created the world in 6 days is an idiot, and truly needs to go back to school. From that you can also see just how much the bible has been edited over the centuries(Genesis was edited), and why most of the things in there are symbolic or simply false. Anyone who limits the ability of God to create a universe in even 1 minute, needs to have his head examined, because he hasn't even started to consider the greatness of God.
Literally every sentence you write makes me feel like you dropped out of school in 3rd grade BADecker. At least research before you come up with bullshit that not even fellow christians would accept. Past Bible scholars didn't have the scientific thinking that we have now. Also, there are many ways to combine the various parts of the Bible to come up with all kinds of ideas. If you would take the time to study the Bible, you would find that I have only scratched the surface of the great amount of knowledge that exists therein.

Take a look at the sequence of creation in Genesis.
1. God creates the Heavens and the Earth - space and material. God was hovering over the waters of the earth (material).
2. God crates light - makes the electromagnetic spectrum along with some of the dimensions that separate the electromagnetic qualities of material from the electromagnetic qualities of energy.
3. God separated the waters on earth. He separated them by making an expanse between them. The expanse He called "sky." - In other words, God separated the materials from which He would make our actual earth, from the materials out of which he would later make the stars.
4. God separated the waters on our Earth (under the expanse of the sky) from the ground (solid material), thereby making dry ground appear. - The waters were a form of thin mud-like substance before God separated the land materials from the water.
5. God made the plants. - Plants were here before the materials (water) He had moved into the sky (expanse) had been turned into the stars. Did the plants need the sun to live? No. The light that God made the first day would be enough to keep them for the short time that it took to make the sun.
6. God made the sun, moon and stars. - In the Revelation, the tail of the dragon (Satan) swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. The stars are equated with angels. The Bible scholars mostly agree with this. When did this happen?
7. God made sea creatures and birds.
8. God made land creatures and man.

When man sinned, Satan was already in the earth. He took the form of the serpent.
Jesus saw Satan fall from Heaven like lightening.
The Revelation talks about the war in Heaven between Satan and the archangel, Michael. Satan lost, and was cast to the earth.
In the beginning of the creation story, before the light was created, before the energies were settled in their cosmic and physics form, God says in Genesis chapter 1, verse 2: "Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters." The word "was" is the same word that means "became."
In other words, there was Heaven and Earth that had been created in the beginning. It was our universe, but in a different "way." It may have had stars and planets. Nobody knows. It DID have the angels. There was a war among the angels in Heaven. Satan and his gang lost the war, the whole creation changed, and God started over rebuilding it in verse 3 with His newly formed light, since even the physics of the previous existence had been turned into mush.
Think about it. See the many things we are missing by not applying the whole Bible to the things that exist and how they came into being.
God is positive. God is against destruction. God renews things. And the next time He will renew "stuff" by making a whole new universe and destroying this one.
Anybody who reads this post, will probably want to say all kinds of things about my comments here. I don't have all the answers. And nobody else does either. There is a lot of "stuff" that is unclear to everyone, but mostly to the people who remain in ignorance intentionally, by not accepting the evidence for God all around them in the universe and nature.
