When I read Genesis 1:1 it says “In the beginning....” I don’t think we know when that was. It also says the earth was void and dark. In verse 2 God says “let there be light.”
What makes sense to me is that there is a period of time between verse 1 and 2. Earth was like all the other planets when it was created. Later God put life on it.
The theory of evolution is just that...a theory and makes absolutely no sense to me....especially as I observe nature and life. I believe that God created.
I think it’s just a possible that if God could create Adam as a fully mature man he could create a fully mature universe.
I am pretty sure, I didn’t evolve from an Ape.
Welcome to "the gap" theory.
