    1. In his third article V.V. Ivanenkov comes to the conclusion that any model claiming to correlate in appropriate way the biblical creation story and scientific knowledge, must consider two states of being - before the fall and after it - as the two divergent time vectors.

       Since the primordial world described in Genesis relates to the fallen world investigated by science through the fall, then to the author’s point of view it is modeling of the "earth damnation" (Gen. 3:17) aftermath in scientific categories that is crucial for adequate correlation of Hexameron and science.

       Following the great English physicist William Thomson, Ivanenkov matches the fall consequences and the second law of thermodynamics. The "time arrow" direction in the fallen world is connected with the second law of thermodynamics and coincides with the increasing entropy direction. If the thermodynamics second law was not valid until the fall and the "earth damnation", the primordial world "time arrow" must had had a different direction than the fallen one.

       According to the author it can be assumed that the two states of being - before the fall and after it, relate to the two divergent time vectors. From this perspective, the main drawback of theistic evolution and young earth creationism models is that they do not reflect these qualitative differences and mistakenly combine the primordial world time with the fallen world time in one vector.
