The Gap (#3a): Nine Reasons Why the Gap is a Fact [pdf & mp3]
by Greg Kedrovsky
This is the first part of a lesson on the nine biblical reasons why there has to be a Gap between Genesis 1.1 and 1.2. The notes offered in the PDF are a very (!) rough draft that will eventually get cleaned up as the study of the nine reasons progresses.
Many people want to refer to the Gap as a “theory” (they call it “The Gap Theory”). This lesson is proof positive that it is not a theory, but rather a “fact.”
- The dictionary defines a “theory” as proposed explanation whose status is still conjectural, in contrast to well-establish propostions that are regarded as reporting matters of actual fact.
- The Gap is not “conjectural”—it’s not a conjecture (a “best guess” based on “my opinion”). Conjectures are expressions of theory or opinion that have no sufficient evidence for proof. With the Gap there is ample evidence to support its existence. As a matter of fact, if the Gap isn’t true, you weren’t born a sinner. How’s that for “conjecture”?
