When God created the earth He created it to be able to sustain life of all His earthly creation, making the earth to appear old. Death did not occur until after the fall so there were no fossils of death present when He created, fossils appeared after the fall of mankind and most of the fossils appeared with the flood judgment at the end of the next dispensation. The triune was involved with the creation as recorded in Genesis. The heavens and earth Elohim (plural Hebrew word God) created was good and able to sustain the life the creator created.
