The Gap Theory DEBUNKED

Millions of Years between Genesis 1:1 & 1:2 ?

Since the emergence of Darwinian evolutionary ideas in the 1800s, certain religious leaders, like Thomas Chalmers and Cyrus Scofield, have tried to make the idea of millions of years fit into Genesis Chapter 1. One of the more well-known ideas is called The Gap Theory.

Such ideas of not believing the Genesis Creation account as stated has seeded ideas that undermine Christians' belief in the validity and accuracy of God's Word. Many churches are caught unaware when such ideas enter into their body since they often do not take a stand on a young earth creation view from Scripture.

The Gap Theory - by Dr Jonathan Sarfati - Creation Ministry Intl
Print Pamplet | ePamplet (FREE DOWNLOAD)
Dr Jonathan Sarfati’s brochure comprehensively answers the many problems associated with trying to squeeze the alleged long ages of evolution into the Bible by putting a gap of millions of years between the first two verses of Genesis 1. Not only is the gap theory scientifically and biblically wrong, with evil, death and suffering in a world which God pronounced to be ‘very good’, but also there is not the slightest basis for it in the Hebrew of Genesis. It does not arise from the Bible, but is the result of pressure from outside secular views.
