Bible Discussion Thread

The Gap Theory was developed based on wording of 1Genesis:1-2 and theorizes the world is much older and different than the world that was created for our existence over 6000 years ago. This old world could be million of years old and consisted of dinosaurs, unusual animals/plants and bi-pedal animals/neandrathals. Fossil records, skeletal remains prove their existence and sediment studies and fossil fuel formation indicate everything was destroyed and buried during a cataclysmic event. This event flooded the entire planet and destroyed ALL life and plunged the world into perpetual darkness. This is called the Pre-Adamic flood.

God went on to complete creating our current world for us as we know it that is over 6000 years old. God also commands us to repopulate the the earth implying it was once before occupied. Also the context used when God promised to not use flooding again as punishment after Noahs flood (destroyed all non-marine life) supports probability of pre-adam flood.

What are your thoughts?

Hi Brian.

Go to Blue letter bible to the Audio commentary and look up Chuck Misslers take o Genesis 1:2. Interesting take on the Gap theory..

More to do with Angels rather than Man and Dinosaurs.

God bless.

Hi Brian.

There's a view of the Gap theory that I do find Interesting. But not to say the Dinosaur or Humans existed during this period. I believe All that was created In Genesis. Man. woman and Dinosaurs and all iving and extinct flesh was created in Genesis after the Gap theory. Because of this verse.

Romans 5:12. Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

I will post a few articles later.

God bless.

Brian something to consider the gap that you speak could have occurred between Gen. 1:1 and 1:2 Gen 1:1 states in the beginning when was that nobody knows but God got it correct whether it was 50 million, 5 million or 50,000 years it was still in the beginning also the time frame between Gen 1:1 and 1:2 could have been a lot so man can carbon date all he wants between those two verses you can put dinosaurs cave man all kinds of stuff or whatever it was became a mess, all thats left are fossils. No one really knows the life that was in what remains, but they try to push evolution, I'll stick with Gods Word.
