The Gap Theory Part1

Think this from the Bible

Genesis 1vs 1: In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth
2:the earth was without form and an empty wasteland darkness was upon the face of the very great deep. The Spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters................. vs3

The Gap theory is based on the 1st verses of the bible. The 1st, second, then the rest of the bible. there is a gap that exists between the first two verses and it is the only theory that places the places extraordinary, prehistoric findings in a time line that makes so much sense to us.
where do we place the dinosaurs in the bible?
where do we place the fall of the devil in the bible?
and where do we place the prehistoric (early) man in the bible?
isn't the earth older than the literal interpretation of the book of genesis?
it may be the question of faith or the curiosity that defines man, Gods greatest creation!

Thomas Chalmers

Thomas Chalmers (1780-1847), a notable Scottish theologian was perhaps the man most responsible for the gap theory.
The idea can be traced back to the rather obscure writings of the Dutchman Episcopius (1583-1643), and was first recorded from one of Chalmers' lectures in 1814.
