1 | The GAP theory could be true. | Gen 1:2 | CDBJ | 19972 | ||
I am not saying it is right or wrong and I haven't looked up the info yet on creation research that you mentioned; all I am saying is that there is a lot of evidence that points to a span or gap or what ever you want to call it. A person can dig almost anyplace they want to on Earth and find fossils of seashells, that couldn't come about from just the great flood, so there has to be an explanation. There was some kind of a catastrophe that had to have happened to put all of that petroleum under six thousand feet of earth and it happened all around the world although the depth varies some. I believe that God did everything that He said he did in His Word. I just think we have it mixed up how we translate Gen. 1:1 and 2. It might not mean much to a lot of people, but when one is trying to talk to others about the Bible and this comes up, which it does, they have a pretty strong case that I am not smart enough to resolve with the way our English translation reads. The gap theory has always been able to shut them down for me in the past, and why couldn't it work? . I think that those that believe in theistic evolution don't have a leg to stand on and are way out of line. The concept of the gap sure makes sense and everything seems to fit with the evidence that we have. God did it all by creating something from nothing, this I know, and He doesn't have to tell us exactly how He did it, but it sure is interesting trying to figure it out, without contradicting Scripture. I try to consider all things and hold fast to that which is good; but in regard to the gap theory no one has been able to show me anything that works better in light of all the evidence. I am not a master when it comes to the Hebrew language, I will leave this up to someone else, but I do know what the evidence shows. I will consider the info you suggested and if it makes sense I will be sure to let you know. Thanks Hank, and I still feel bad about the way I responded to you on post in the past. Yours in Christ, CDBJ | ||||||
2 | The GAP theory could be true. | Gen 1:2 | Lionstrong | 20025 | ||
Dear CDBJ, The catastrophe, of course was the Flood. There's no evidence that pitch was found in great abundance in the days of Noah. Noah did find enough to finish the ark though. Peace, Lionstrong |

3 | The GAP theory could be true. | Gen 1:2 | CDBJ | 20031 | ||
If the pitch, i.e. petroleum, is from a catastrophe, heat and pressure from the earth pressing down, and you say that the flood was the catastrophe; how did Noah get the pitch before it happened? Petroleum doesn't form over night and come up to the surface from better then a mile down; and for starters how did it get down that far in order to turn the organic mater into pitch? How long of a time span have we from Adam to Noah? We have records of geological structures that have been around longer then that time span and there isn't six thousand feet of earth over them, and it's for sure the flood couldn't have done it. I think we better look for another catastrophe like an asteroid massive volcanoes or something, I don't know. Hence the gap! | ||||||

Dear CDBJ, ............. Since the universe is less than a million years old, this proves that it does not take millions of years for petroleum to form. Therefore there was pitch before the Flood (maybe not in great quantities) and the gap theory is impossible. ............. Peace, Lionstrong | ||||||
