I think I would enjoy doing that.

That guy on TBN that has the museum in Texas has some interesting comments about this kind of stuff.
I heard that, too. But there was a good purpose for God making Adam and adult and not an infant, which would not make sense in doing the same with the earth.

This TOTAL speculation, but God could have done that in order to test people.

I see your point. But I don't see God doing that solely to test people. I think the earth is millions of years old, but there was no man before Adam, who seemed be created 6,000 years ago.

Re: Genesis 1 gap theory

Psalm 104 parallels Genesis first 6 days perfectly. But after it mentions the sixth day, it says this:

Psalms 104:30 KJV Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.

Sounds like Genesis 1 was a renovation, not creation, except for verse 1 and except for life.

Re: Genesis 1 gap theory

I believe the seven days were literally seven 24 hour periods God took to do what He did.

I believe Genesis 1 took place in the mind of God and in Chapter two God actually did the creative work in a single day.

I believe the earth existed already and was 'revamped' for the placing of Adam kind on it.

I believe other things as well, but this is enough for now.

You definately show that you are capable of thinking outside the box.

Close to my beliefs.

I believe Gen 1 is the creation from the perspective of METHOD and Chapter 2 is the same creation from a perspective of PURPOSE highlighting Adam.

I believe the single Gen 1 and Gen 2 creation was a revamped earth done after the fall of satan caused a destruction that may have started and ended millions of years before the first day of Gen 1.

So how and when did the earth come to be?
