Do we really need ideas like the gap theory that we’ve looked at this week to add millions of years into the Bible? Why not consider a different approach—believing God’s Word!

Ideas like the gap theory haven’t been suggested because Genesis is so vague we can’t know what God meant. It’s very clear—and a plain meaning is confirmed in places like Exodus that say, “for in the six days the Lord created.” The Bible isn’t the problem! The problem is taking man’s ideas about the past and then reinterpreting God’s Word as if we know better!

We must reject this approach and allow God’s Word to be the authority in all areas!
