M&B,

I read and downloaded the article from the link you posted.

But there are a lot of areas I have disagreement with.

interesting enough it starts off with the premise that the Gap is a theory instead of Biblical, and that the Gap theory is a form of theistic evolution creationism.

It is great as it gives us clearer questions to answer to show that just because we don't understand the time measurement of "From Everlasting" or "Eternity Past" does not mean we agree with the ideology of theistic evolution and long ages.

one should notice right away from Genesis one verse three a few things. The earth is already created before verse three. That verse three is not a amplification of verse one because nowhere from verse three on does it speak of the creation of the Earth as a "planet" and the Heaven the "Abode of God" also known as the third heaven.

it was in verse two where the earth is found without form and void. Jer4:23 being the only cross reference to get a logical English meaning for those words. there even darkness is associated with this desolation.

Verses 3-5 show the first separation (a division) of Day and Night. each is 12hours and together they total 24 hours. and the evening and the morning was the FIRST day. up until this there were no 24 hour days. the rest of the chapter and chapter two establish a complete week cycle that never before existed because 24 hour days did exist before. from Gen 1:3 forward we have our Biblical history past.

Thanks for the link great info
