The Lingu Purana says, that the Lord Visnu is the origin of Brahma and it calls Brahma, "Purusa." It goes on to mention that Visnu assumed the incarnation form of a Boar, who lifted up the earth that had been submerged under the waters and who also re-established the earth as it was originally.

The idea of renovating the new world "as it had been before" in the context of a Proper Creation, is also absurd, when one knows that before this, there was nothing.
It appears that wherever you have Brahma in the myths and the mentioning of a progenitor, you have as the progenitor Indra.
