The Bible, Genesis & Geology: Rightly-Dividing Geology and the Book of Genesis
ISBN: 1451549326 Binding: Paperback Edition: Author(s): Gaines R. Johnson Publisher: CreateSpace Number of Pages: 262
Does a time gap exist between the first two verses of Genesis In this book you will learn about a controversial lesser known literal interpretation of the Genesis narrative that does not contradict the scientific evidence for an Old Earth Commonly called the "Gap Theory" or Ruin-Reconstruction interpretation it is a theological interpretation much older than Darwin's Theory of Evolution It is based on the Scriptural fact that in the second verse of Genesis the Holy Bible simply and clearly states that the planet Earth was already here (but in a ruined state) before the creative process of the seven days even begins The Bible itself provides insight into a great mystery in Earth's natural history at what is known as the Pleistocene - Holocene boundary Science remains at a loss to definitively explain the Ice Age and the anomaly of the mysterious mega fauna extinctions across the face of the Earth about 12000 to 10000 Radio Carbon years ago Geologic evidence from that period indicates extraordinary global massive volcanism gigantic tidal waves seismic activity on a vast scale and extreme temperature swings on the Earth over a geologically brief period of time It is no coincidence that the Bible at Genesis 1:2 describes the Earth as flooded desolate and in darkness in the time frame closely corresponding to these catastrophic events in the Earth's natural history Clearly these two mysteries are linked The Earth has an ancient natural history that can be deciphered from the geologic record but it also has an equally important ancient spiritual history that can only be deciphered from Rightly-Dividing the Holy Bible Knowledge of both is required to correctly reconcile Geology and the Book of Genesis
