Answers with Ken Ham

Replenish the Earth?


Listen Later

This is Ken Ham, equipping the church with answers to the questions of our day.

This week we’re looking at problems with the gap theory, an idea that adds millions of years into the Bible by putting a gap between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2. During that gap God supposedly judged Satan’s sin with a flood and then reshaped earth and recreated life.

Now in Genesis 1:28 Adam and Eve are told to have kids and “replenish” the earth. Does this mean God was refilling the earth? Well, the Hebrew word simply means “to fill”—that’s why modern translations say “fill the earth.” But older translations say “replenish” because, well, replenish used to mean “to fill!”

You see, there’s no hint of a gap in Genesis one!
