We live in a generation where every previously known principle is being tested using the empirical methodology.Today, scientists are arguing that the universe has existed for millions of years ago and they are as well showing evidence to support their claims(bones of dinosaurs)...religious leaders believe its about 5000 yrs(assumption)...but what if they are both correct!!!. This is possible in what is called THE GAP THEORY. The gap theory postulates that an indefinite span of time exists between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2. This time span is usually considered to be quite large (millions of years) and is also reputed to encompass the so-called “geologic ages.” Proponents of the gap theory also postulate that a cataclysmic judgment was pronounced upon the earth during this period as the result of the fall of Lucifer (Satan) and that the ensuing verses of Genesis chapter 1 describe a re-creation or reforming of the earth from a chaotic state and not an initial creative effort on the part of God(research more on your own). if you also check you will see where it was written that the spirit of the God moved upon the face of the waters indicating that there was water before he started full creation so what facilitated the need of water before creation...the big question is COULD IT HAVE BEEN THAT THE BIG BANG OCCURED IN GENESIS 1:1 and 1:2..think
Lets discuss the Gap Theory
