WRONG WRONG WRONG!
CynicalBear is trying to merge evolution with the Bible and that shouldn't/can't be done! Evolution is completely FALSE doctrine! What he is pushing, is called the gap theory but the only gap is between the ears of the person promoting this none sense!
skeptoid, is the only one on this thread who got it right. Read the web page he has a linked for. It's the BEST explanation of the effects of Noah's flood and the resulting world wide changes we see today.
Absolutely no belief in any type of evolution is in any way inferred. Evolution is of Satans teaching. God created every creature as a unique species. Trying to include the teaching of evolution in the truth of a world prior to Genesis 1:2 is a straw dog used in place of knowledge.
Trying to limit an eternal God to a box of 6-7000 years is ridiculous if not an abomination. To infer that the first thing God did with this earth was a mess (without form and void, Tohu wa bohu) is anathema. To infer that dinosaurs were on the Ark is naïve at best and anti scriptural.
This earth could have been reformed many times in the eternal past but scripture teaches it was at least once and will be again. Dont attempt to demean an eternal God by trying to restrict Him to the last 6-7000 years.
And dont accuse me of trying to merge evolution with the Bible. Its a lie and a weak attempt at obfuscation. If your knowledge of scripture and science is so weak just admit that you cant rectify truth of either.
