As the idea of millions of years became popular in the 1800s, many Christians wondered what to do with Genesis. After all, millions of years can’t be found anywhere in the text! Some decided there must be a gap of time that Scripture doesn’t mention, between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2. It’s in that gap that they put the millions of years.
Now there are big problems with this but notice that in creating the gap theory these men didn’t start with God’s Word. They started with man’s ideas and tried to squeeze them into the Bible! But we should never put ourselves as the authority over God and his Word.
