Is the Gap Theory a Biblical Option?
by Richard Niessen (PDF, 36 KB) - This is an article used by
permission from Creation Moments. It is an excellent critique of
the Gap Theory with a helpful discussion
of the interpretation of Genesis chapter 1 based on considerations of
the Hebrew text. Though I may
differ with the author on some minor points, such as the use of Romans
5:12, the article is very valuable.
Creation Contradictions? by Dr. Bernard E. Northrup (PDF, 138
KB) - This is an article used by
permission from Creation Moments. Dr. Northrup addresses some
issues regarding Genesis chapters
1 and 2 that some have claimed represent contradictions between these
two chapters. Northrup
makes a number of important points about the Hebrew language and
about the translation of certain
verses, especially Genesis 2:5. Though I would differ with
Northrup somewhat on his interpretation of
Psalm 104, this article provides valuable insights on topics such as
rain and plants, the garden of Eden,
and how the first two chapters of the Bible relate to each other.

Gap Theory view, and the Literal view of the creation account.

master.
