Gen 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
Gen 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
Gen 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

The gap theory can't be supported when you step away from the muddy unclear verses that you can make any interpretation from and look the clear verses that show it to be a farce.

Notice in verse 1, it says the heavens and the earth were finished, and ALL the host of them. Verse 2 says he rested from ALL his work which he had made. Verse 3 says he rested from ALL his work he had made. These three verses say that God rested after he created ALL the host of the heavens and the earth and ALL of the work had made. Everything was made in the six previous days unless you include this gap as being part of the creation God rested from.

Exo 20:11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

In six days the LORD made heaven, and earth, the sea, and ALL that is in them. That means everything that dwells in the heavens, the earth, and the sea were created in the six day creation period.

Mar 10:6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.

From the beginning of the creation? I thought angelic beings were only made at the beginning of creation. Sounds like Jesus didn't know about this gap.

Mar 13:19 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.

This verse can sway either way, but the the phrase beginning of the creation shows up again and the last verse points out that God made us male and female and if we look at this verse that beginning was from the beginning until now.

When was the beginning though? Well, there only one verse that declares the beginning. Taken in context of the verses that I gave we can see that this period lasted 6 days, everything that dwells in creation was made in those six days, and that Jesus only recognizes the six days as the beginning as the creation of God. That gap must have been awful small.
