Alternative Creation Theory No.2 - The Gap Theory

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 21, 2023

There are four "theories" used by some believers to explain our origins apart from the biblical account of creation. We looked at "theistic evolution". Now we will look at the "Gap Theory". Is it a legitimate alternative? We need to examine its claims.

Four basic creation "theories" have been promoted by Christian theists over the years as alternatives to the biblical account of creation as recorded in the book of Genesis. They are theistic evolution, the gap theory, the day/age theory, and progressive creationism, each one contrived ...read more

Alternative Creation Theory No. 1: Theistic Evolution

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 15, 2023

The first theory of creation apart from Scripture teaches that God used evolution as part of the creative process. Is this a viable explanation for our origins? What does science and the Bible have to say about this idea?

Our look at the first of the four alternative theories to the biblical account of creation begins with what I would refer to as a philosophical mix of oil and water. On the surface, this theory might sound feasible for those who worship at the altar of reason and compromise, but it falls short ...read more

How It All Started

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jun 11, 2017

The creation story tells us: 1) God brings order out of chaos, 2) God creates all things good, and 3) God always has our best in mind. All of creation shouts out God's love for us!

Genesis 1:1-2:1 How it All Started Genesis 1 is one of the most beautiful, most carefully crafted sections of scripture. It’s kind of a mixture of poetry and prose. And its intent is clear: to show that God alone is creator of all. I heard about this one atheist scientist who came to God and ...read more
