KJV

²⁵ Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.
²⁶ They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:

The foundation of the earth, laid long ago by God, illustrate the geocentric language of the Bible, which assumes that the sun and moon move around the stationary earth. This is contrary to the heliocentric model accepted by modern science: the Bible is using Phenomenological Language here. See Theistic Heliocentrism for the comparison between Heliocentrism and Evolution.

— Bruce

The earth was destined to decay from the beginning.
