Gap creationism

From Metapedia

Gap creationism or Gap theory is the idea that there was an indeterminate "gap" between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2. During this gap the surface of the Earth was destroyed by a battle between God and Lucifer.

[edit] Dinosaurs

The dinosaurs were also destroyed at this time and their fossil remains are those that are found to this day, although others such as - possibly the Loch Ness Monster - may hav survived until recent times.

[edit] Differences of opinion

Many Christians believe that following the gap a six-day creation took place. Others hold more to a view of Progressive Creationism.

As a theory which attempts to harmonize the age of the Earth with that promoted by naturalistic scientists, it is preferred by many Christians.
