Bible Note: 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 |
