Bible Question: how old is the earth? is there a gap(theory) between gen1:1 and gen1:2? |
Bible Answer: 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"?
