NASB | Genesis 1:2 The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 1:2 The earth was formless and void or a waste and emptiness, and darkness was upon the face of the deep [primeval ocean that covered the unformed earth]. The Spirit of God was moving (hovering, brooding) over the face of the waters. |
Subject: The GAP theory could be true. |
Bible Note: Personal Note ................................... Dear CDBJ, I was hoping that you would respond to my post (10-24-01) on this subject. Do you have any thoughts? Also as for the coal, pitch idea. Just because it is organic doesn't mean that it was once alive. As others have pointed out, if we found Adam or Eve's skeleton, we would assume that they were once children and then grew to be adults. However, God just created them at the adult stage of life. Similarly, God could have just created the Earth with those organic materials (pitch, etc.) already there. The presence of tar doesn't prove that the Earth is ancient, and the Gap theory doesn't make sense (see note 10-24-01). |
