Have you ever heard the idea that it’s just as ridiculous—if not more so—to believe in a flat earth than a young earth? Or, that these two are somehow claims of equal proportions? Find out how to respond to this challenge.
Is the Gap Theory Biblical? Refuting James Knox on the “Gap Fact.”
Does the Bible allow for a large gap of time between the first two verses of the Bible? Few scholars believe this to be the case, and yet the Gap Theory persists as an option for many wishing to reconcile an old earth with the biblical record.
