Hi, I am new here, this is my first post, but I have been coming here and reading for quite some time. This thread really caught my interest because I have been an opponent of the Theory of Evolution and also the Big Bang Theory for many years. I am a pretty simple guy, not an expert on the Bible or science. I do not post here to start trouble or contention, but I believe that most who believe the Gap Theory are trying to reconcile the Bible with science. When I say science I mean what is generally accepted as science today, although I think "so-called" science like evolution and modern cosmology is false. And I think it is important, because many people are deceived by false science, and it turns many away from believeing the scriptures.

I do not believe the Gap Theory simply because I do not believe the Bible supports it. To me it is not a complicated matter.

Gen 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

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.

Verse 1:31 says God saw every thing that he had made, and behold, it was very good. This would include Satan.

Eze 28:15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee

On which day of creation Satan was created I do not know. But Satan was created.

Gen 2:1 tells us us that the heavens and earth were finished , and all the host of them. So Satan was created sometime between day one and day six.

The word "Thus" ties verse Gen 2:1 to Gen 1:31, so we know all creation was completed in six days. The word "finished" shows us that evolution is false, evolution is never "finished".

And Gen 2:2 tells us God ended his work, another blow to evolution, and the Big Bang as well that argues for an expanding universe.

So, pardon me for going over these simple verses, I have read many threads and am very impressed by the knowledge many of you have of the scriptures. Like I said, I am a simple guy, but these verses are very straightforward and not difficult to understand.
