Gap Theory, The

For over two hundred years the church has been embroiled in an intense debate over the age of the earth. Some Christians are unwaivered in their belief that the earth is only thousands of years old, while others are convinced that science has conclusively proven the earth's age to be billions of years. Lying at the heart of this debate is the gap theory—the idea that billions of years of earth's history transpired between the first two verses of Genesis.

 

In The Gap Theory, Stephen Lawwell takes the reader through a detailed analysis of the theory, its history and its teachings, and provides conclusive proof that the gap theory is not only unscriptural, but also theologically dangerous.
