[Capbook]

Yes, human's were originally designed to live happily on earth.

The age of the earth is about 4.54 billion years. But Adam and Eve can be traced back to a mere 6,000 years.

And in the creation described in detail in Genesis, Adam and Eve were created on the sixth day of that creation process.

So it appears that Adam and Eve were not even part of the original creation which occurred 4.54 billion years ago.

They would have to be created and designed to live happily on earth in the re-creation of the earth which occurred about 6,000 ago.

Yes, humans were designed to live happily on the earth, nut not in the original creation.

Man was in Plan B.

Is Genesis 1:1, 4.54 billion years to you?

Within that general range.

Genesis 1:1 does not say re-creation. It simply said God created the heaven and the earth.
Your statement I colored blue would be correct if you change "re-creation" to "created".

Genesis 1:1 is all that is said about the original creation of the earth roughly 4.54 billion years ago.

But Adam and Eve can be traced back to only about 6,000 years ago.

So the six day period of creation in which Adam and Eve were created would be a re-creation as it was not part of the original creation in Genesis 1:1.

The earth was created in Genesis 1:1, and it had become empty, void, and dark as described in Genesis 1:2.

So God returned about 6,000 years ago and re-created the earth to its original very good condition and created mankind to replenish the earth.

Genesis 1:28
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Genesis 1:1 was the original creation, and Genesis 1:3 begins a re-creation of an existing earth which had become empty, void, and dark.

I am a little confused of your response.
May I know your interpretation of "day" in creation week, is it a 24 hours or another?

Yes, a day in the creation week is "an evening and a morning," or a day, or 24 hours.

Then why would you say that Gen 1:1, original creation of earth is roughly 4.54 billion years ago? (First day of the creation week)
And why Gen 1:27, the creation of Adam and Eve was just 6,000 years ago? (Sixth day of the creation week)
As I believe we cannot find the word "re-created or re-creation" in the Bible, in term about creation of earth and man.
