in christianity if you paid any attention, which is not comparable with islam, buddhism or other paganisms and heresies, the heavens were created first, which is the aion, the place without time for the angels and indwelling of god as a manifestation towards his creation. the cosmos is secondary creation, of matter, where man is the steward of the cosmos and the link towards heaven. something happened and the entire cosmos fell, it's a broken place. the only element that's redeemed is man's soul which after death god takes into the aion. there will be a time after a very long interval where the cosmos will be destroyed and a new one will be made and man will be restored into glorified matter to inherit it properly, then the entire cosmos will be paradise, eternal life in all meanings of the word.
