Bible Note: And I would also agree against this theory ("Gap Theory") that can only be based upon speculation and not from the Bible itself. I believe that the earth was created thousands of years ago, not millions. I also believe in the literal 'six days' of creation instead of the 'six periods of time' which would support the "Gap Theory".. I believe that it is a 'stretch' at best, like the "Big Bang" theory and "Evolution".. |
