Dear thirsty, Basically, it depends on one's view as to whether or not something happened between Gen. 1:1 and 1:2. In general, this is referred to as the "Gap Theory": "The gap theory postulates that an indefinite span of time exists between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2. This time span is usually considered to be quite large (millions of years) and is also reputed to encompass the so-called “geologic ages.” Proponents of the gap theory also postulate that a cataclysmic judgment was pronounced upon the earth during this period as the result of the fall of Lucifer (Satan) and that the ensuing verses of Genesis chapter 1 describe a re-creation or reforming of the earth from a chaotic state and not an initial creative effort on the part of God." For further info, you can go to netbible.org and look under "Topics: Creation". I hope this helps, BradK |
