In case you're not familiar with this, it is a theory that there is a period of time that is not recorded that takes place between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2.

Supposedly, this is when the dinosaurs become extinct, Lucifer Flood took place and several other things I can't remember.

The people that believe this theory have Scriptures to back it up, but honestly, I would have to do some more research before I would approve or discredit the theory.

Soooo, I wanted to see what others knew about it.
Well, I see the whole Bible as a story (Gen. being the beginning and Rev. being the end...the middle may not be in "order" but the the beginning and end are). Anyway, I see this story as one revolution amung many cycles. The earth was created before and destroyed before. It may have happened many times before...who knows. We're simply in one cycle. But I don't know if the Bible actually supports this. I suppose it does if you want it to.

One more thing and I mean no disrespect, but if some claiming to speak for the Lord tells you that you need them or their resources to understand the Bible, ummm saturate them with your absence.
Then it should be simple for you to refute it. (I will not hold my breath) The fact of the matter is, we have presented a Biblical case for the Gap Theory, and it is solid.

We agree that the book of Genesis is literal, Adam and Eve were real people, and mankind is about 6,000 years old. Our only point of disagreement is when the universe itself was created. I respect Young Earth Creationists, so long as they respect me. But so long as you insist the theory is pagan (explain?), I will insist that "Young Earth Creationism" is ludicrous- resorting to every kind of mental gymnastic to explain dinosaurs, geological evidence, etc.
