This week we’re looking at the idea of a gap of millions of years between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2. This gap supposedly accommodates for long ages, while still interpreting the days in Genesis as normal days. But the gap theory has the same problem as every attempt to fit millions of years into the Bible—it puts death before sin!

You see, the supposed millions of years comes from the rocks and fossils. Of course, fossils are, well, dead things. So, a gap in Genesis means millions of years of death before sin. And God called that “very good”!

No matter how you try, you can’t add millions of years into the Bible!
