Proof The Bible Is True

The vast majority of people in the western world today believe the Earth and the Universe are billions of years old. This teaching is based on dating methods that are founded on assumptions that have not been proven and are riddled with error. In spite of these assumptions and errors, it has been common for many Bible believers to adopt this ancient Earth belief (or at least tolerate it) and attempt to find places in the biblical text to insert the possibility of billions of years.

 

The two most common attempts at this effort are known as the Day-Age Theory and the Gap Theory. The Day-Age Theory asserts that the days of Creation were not literal 24-hour days, but were long, extended periods of millions or billions of years. The Gap Theory suggests that the days are regular 24-hour periods, but a large gap of billions of years existed in the biblical account of Creation between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:3. At Apologetics Press, we have dealt extensively with these two theories and shown them to be incorrect.¹

 

Periodically, however, we run across a twist in one of these two theories which requires attention.
