Satan's fall occurred sometime in the gap between verse 1 and verse 2 (which is why it's called the Gap theory!) (3). The earth was laid waste as a result of Satan's rebellion; (4). God remade earth into a paradise again in 6 days of re-creation. (5). This then harmonizes the Bible account with the fossil record and science. .
