An Alternate "Gap" Theory
29 Replies
When reading Creationists, the one consistent thing I see is how everyone who believes in any sort of "gap theory" is necessarily a heretic. I think this is a bit of a broad brush accusation based on…Continue

Russ White commented on Creation Conversations's group 'Young Earth Creationists'"Y'all:
I finished a paper recently for my Systematic Theology 1 class (under Dr. Pettegrew), and posted a copy of it up on my blog. It's about 13 pages, and discusses the possibility of a gap between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2. I thought it…"
Russ White replied to Russ White's discussion 'An Alternate "Gap" Theory'"Again, you just assume and move on. You said that there is no gap based on the Hebrew. My response is that there are varying interpretations. I proved there are by quoting just one such varying interpretation. Can you prove, from the Hebrew, that…"
Russ White replied to Russ White's discussion 'An Alternate "Gap" Theory'"It could have been, yes... Or it might not have been. But this is speculating, rather than offering proof. And my entire point is that both sides are in speculation, and hence we simply cannot know the answer based on the information we have in…"
Russ White replied to Russ White's discussion 'An Alternate "Gap" Theory'"You're still not getting that a gap doesn't imply the days are millions of years long. If there is a gap between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2, it does not mean the days following are anything but literal 24 hour days!
Again, a gap between…"
Russ White replied to Russ White's discussion 'An Alternate "Gap" Theory'"Thanks! There are two Gardens, though:
You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering, sardius, topaz, and diamond,
beryl, onyx, and jasper, sapphire, emerald, and carbuncle; and crafted in gold were your settings and…"
Terrance Egolf replied to Russ White's discussion 'An Alternate "Gap" Theory'"Russ, you stated, "This theory is that God created the universe with only angels. There was a "garden," but it wasn't anything we would recognize. For instance, can someone tell me where this Garden was?"
Actually, if you…"
Russ White replied to Russ White's discussion 'An Alternate "Gap" Theory'"I already have. Twice.
1. There are places and times discussed in the Scriptures that have no parallel in the known Creation.
2. There is the problem of Satan's fall, a possible "lifeless gap" could resolve this issue.
3. There are…"
Russ White replied to Russ White's discussion 'An Alternate "Gap" Theory'"Russ said at the top of the topic: " just wanted to take a moment to point out that there is at least one "gap theory" that doesn't believe there was "life in the gap."
Please clarify: Is this your stated reason for…"
Russ White replied to Russ White's discussion 'An Alternate "Gap" Theory'"No, we need to do more than study. We need to listen, and to read, and to dig deep, and understand. We need to give others the benefit of a doubt--you expect everyone to accept that you don't believe in the Trinity, and that's all okay,…"
Russ White replied to Russ White's discussion 'An Alternate "Gap" Theory'"Can you please quote where I've said this is the reason for placing a gap here? I'd like for you to find one place, on this board, where I've said this is the reason for people espousing this view. In fact, I posted a generally long…"
Russ White replied to Russ White's discussion 'An Alternate "Gap" Theory'"Let's see, you don't believe in the Trinity, a position declared heresy by virtually every orthodox thinker in the past and in the present and is totally and completely backed up by any reasonable reading of the Scriptures, and yet you…"
Russ White replied to Russ White's discussion 'An Alternate "Gap" Theory'"I think there's a great deal more to it than that... In fact, I think we focus on the inductive arm of reasoning (finding specific proof verses) at the expense of deductive reasoning (patterns in the Scriptures) to our own great detriment. If…"
Russ White replied to Russ White's discussion 'An Alternate "Gap" Theory'"That's fine... My own position is that a number of people I respect espouse this view strongly, and I can't find anything in it that "feels" wrong. OTOH, I don't see that it's different enough from "strong"…"
