NASB | Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God (Elohim) created [by forming from nothing] the heavens and the earth. [Heb 11:3] |
Bible Question: I have being reading about the creation and I found diferents theories about it. There is the gap theory (creation in 2 times) creation in only one time. Did God created the whole universe at once? Did God created the Earth and after millions of years He came back and created life in there? Can you tell me a bit about it and give me some references for research? Tks |
Bible Answer: The Gap Theory is the view that there was a vast period of time between when God created the earth and when He created life on the earth. I find it amazing how much some Bible teachers try to fit between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2. Some try to fit millions of years of history, the dinosaurs, another race of humans that fell and became Satan and the demons, etc., etc. – all in between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2. Don’t you think that if something important had occurred between the two verses God would have told us so? I do not think God wants us to have to speculate about such important events. What took place between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2? Absolutely nothing! Genesis 1:1 tells us that God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:2 informs us that when He first created the earth, it was formless, empty, and dark. The rest of Genesis chapter 1 tells us how God “rectified” the formless, empty, and dark earth – filling it with life, beauty, and goodness. |
