Bible Note: 'What is the Gap Theory? 'Did anything happen in between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2? 'The Gap Theory is the view that there was a vast period of time between when God created the earth and when He created life on the earth. I find it amazing how much some Bible teachers try to fit between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2. Some try to fit millions of years of history, the dinosaurs, another race of humans that fell and became Satan and the demons, etc., etc. – all in between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2. Don’t you think that if something important had occurred between the two verses God would have told us so? I do not think God wants us to have to speculate about such important events. 'What took place between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2? Absolutely nothing! Genesis 1:1 tells us that God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:2 informs us that when He first created the earth, it was formless, empty, and dark. The rest of Genesis chapter 1 tells us how God “rectified” the formless, empty, and dark earth – filling it with life, beauty, and goodness.' |
