Bible Question: how old is the earth? is there a gap(theory) between gen1:1 and gen1:2? |
Bible Answer: chach - Thanks for your question which, by the way, is one that turns up fairly frequently on SBF. Therefore, please allow me to name a couple of sources that you may find helpful. The first is an article by Dr. Henry Morris called, "Why the Gap Theory Won't Work." You can find this article by going to http://icr.org/article/826/ ..... Dr. Morris calls the Gap Theory "one of the popular devices for trying to accomodate the evolutionary ages of the geologists and astronomers." ....... Two posts from SBF archives may be of interest to you also. They are posts 8321 and 17576, which you can access by entering the post numbers, one at a time of course, in the box under Search. ....... The Gap Theory is a man-made contrivance which, not unlike other fanciful theories, has no foundation in Scripture. --Hank |
