First of, a very useful link for a thorough and extensive website treatment of the gap theory which appears to be very sound from both a biblical and geological perspective:

Secondly, I'm puzzled as to why so much energy and time is given to answering the endless stream of criticisms from the "anti-Gap Theory" people ?? Each time I click on what sounds like a promising web address, I am often greeted by long streams of verbose apologetics......as though this were necessary in such great length and detail?

I would love to read more that simply launched into the fascinating depth of its implications without much further ado. I have totally accepted the existence of the time gap between GEN 1:1-2, and the catastrophic events only touched on by the original Hebrew from which the texts are derived.

I still live in hope of finding such ! But all encouragement and God's blessing of continuing wisdom and revelation, as you endevour to reveal what God would say.

Ken.

When someone has little or nothing they have to use facts as filler!...I could understand if the Anti-Gappers were writing a book and had to fill 200 pages but not on a website.

So am I Whitestone. Controversy means one is wrong and one is right or they're both wrong.
If one guy's right, he should move on.
