2 | gap therory | Gen 1:1 | skccab | 188061 | ||
Hi Chach, I don't know which way I lean on the "gap" theory; the only thing I know is that it seems to exist for 2 reasons (other than scientific): 1 - Many people don't believe that God would create something that is in chaos - that something had to have happened that made it that way. 2 - When God told Adam to "replenish" the earth -the question arises how can you re-plenish something that has never been "plenished"? Just some thoughts blessings cheri |

Hi Cheri, I've been watching a lot of Kent Hovind, www.drdino.com. He's got some great stuff to say on this. In 1611, replenish meant to simply fill up. It didn't take on the meaning of re-fill until the last couple of hundred years. But that aside, the Bible teaches that death came through sin. Therefore, there was no death until Adam sinned. Jesus said that in the beginning God made man. The Gap theory, the day-age theory, all these theories are simply trying to explain the earth's geology without resorting to the flood. In the late 1700's and early 1800's people started promoting these ideas to explain the earth without having to admit that God made it all, that He judged it once, and will judge it again. 2 Peter 3 addresses this nicely. Love in Christ, Mark |

Thanks Mark, I'll check out the link you gave, never heard of the fellow though. I really don't lean one way or the other on that particular theory - there are alot of questions about geology and such. Guess we'll understand it all by and by :). And won't it be neat hearing about it all from the Master Himself? blessings cheri |
