the GapTheory does it make any sense at all?

Question

the gap theory basically tries to explain the time of dinosaures and prehistoric man before adam and eve in bible terms ,it says this is the second earth not the first,there was a flood before Noahs flood ,demons were created by the souls of the first people on earth this was there punisment,does the gap therory give proof to the coming armmagedon and how dinosaurs are explained by relgeous people( acording to the bible the eath is only 6000 years old) or is it just another way for religous people to dissmiss science

Im not on your team nor do I want to be.

Answer 1

correct, it is complete garbage

Answer 2

Dinosaurs and man were around at the same time. Do people still believe they weren't? I'm shocked, there is so much proof.
Religious people don't dismiss science!
There's no proof to 2 earths. Demons are fallen angels. And many say there's evidence of a young earth.
AND the bible says the earth is a circle! It was scientists that said it was flat!!!

Answer 3

The Gap theory is about a hundred years old. It has no basis. it is just a compromise by those who want to believe in both evolution and creation. Unfortunately there are many scientist in the camp, the most noted would be Hugh Ross (www.reasonstobelieve.com). Proponents say that there is a gap between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2. You can look at it for yourself, its not there.

Answer 4

Doesn't make sense at all. Just people trying to come up with excuses to make their religion seem plausible when science has obviously proven otherwise time and again. I'm not against religion, but I don't see how people in an educated society can believe such crazy things sometimes. I guess if you're willing to believe a book full of information that is completely wrong you'll believe whatever people will tell you.

Answer 5

I don't know if it "makes sense" or not, but many theologians, Chrisitian theologians in fact, believe the earth to be much older than the 6,000 years that is implied in scripture. Remember, in the beginning, acccording to the Genesis 1, the Spirit of God was over the waters. That was prior to the "first day," and who knows how long that period lasted? No one knows. But you'd do well to research the fallacy about Christians dismissing science, because we do not. We just don't worship it.

Answer 6

People can come up with as many theories that they want..this is just another...there is even less evidence of that than there is that something came from absolutely nothing..
I still think that having faith ad believing that there is a God who created everthing from scratch makes more sense..because of the ingredient of faith. Faith brings strong belief..very very powerful..more powerful than anything else.
I don't think anyone totally dismisses science at all..however it was humans who created the math..the names for things, the dating process of things etc..and we all know that humans are fallable and that science is fallable.

Answer 7

It is just like when they found out the earth wasn't flat. A few hundred years from now the Christians will say "What? The bible never said the earth is 6,000 years old."

Answer 8

No it does not. Because there is a huge GAP in its explanation! This idea is totally non-existent from a plain reading of Scripture.

Answer 9

It is an example of "wresting" Scripture. Bending it beyond measure, to try to support some private understanding, which Scripture does not really teach.

Answer 10

I don't think it is religious people dismissing science, but the argument is old and young earth. I am an old earth one. I used to be young earth.

Answer 11

Yep, indeed


I vote it a BIG piece of C R A P
