First, we need to realize that there is a huge difference between theology and the Bible.  We also need to realize that the natural man cannot receive the things of the Spirit.  In other words, God is not impressed with any human interpretation.

So let’s start with what is clear.  It is clear from Scripture that the six days of creation took place roughly 6,000 years ago.  Interestingly, all of science agrees with that fact.  As we learn more about the physical world, these dates become increasingly more firmly confirmed.

Some theologians have the opinion that there was a gap in the beginning of Genesis.  In the first chapter of Genesis, it says: "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." Next, it says, "The earth was without form and void."  Some theologians believe that between those two verses, there was a time when all the dinosaurs lived.  That cannot be true from both a Biblical standpoint and a natural science standpoint.   The fossil record speaks conclusively of the world-wide flood in which many dinosaurs, along with other animals and plants, died.  The efforts of evolutionists to try to make the residue that was left behind by this flood seem to be evidence of millions of years have been shown, by science, to be unscientific.  The Bible also declares that sin came through Adam and death through sin.  There is much more on this in Ken Hamm’s website and Kent Hovind’s website.  In short, this "death in the gap" theory is obviously false.

Genesis 1   ¹In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.  
   ²And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Consider the Word.  What does it really say?  What do we read into it by rationalized or spiritualized speculation? 

Does it say that God, Who is Light, and in Whom is no darkness at all, made something that was without form and void (empty) and darkness was upon it, and then God fixed it in six days?  Does it say that God made the heaven and the earth and then something happened that caused the earth to become without form and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep?  That is one of the arguments that some people have made.  You can see that this gap theory is based on many assumptions and adding things to the Word of God.  It appears that this argument has its real basis in the counsel of the ungodly atheistic Evolutionists.  Why would anyone listen to such people?

Unless God gives revelation on this, should we even be bothering ourselves about it?

Deuteronomy 29:29
The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.

The Bible is literally true.  The Bible has proven itself to be an authority far superior to the vagaries of the various scientific methods that are out there.  God is no more impressed with my opinions than He is with your opinions.  God can reveal something to someone, but a revelation will never conflict with Scripture.

Some people think they know the answer to all these things.  Perhaps.  As the evolutionist is able to go very smoothly from science into rationalized speculation, so the theologian is able to go very smoothly from the Bible into rationalized or spiritualized speculation.  It happens so smoothly that the theologian isn’t even aware of what has happened.  Perhaps some people do know the answer to all these types of questions.  Perhaps this also is simply speculation dressed up as rational thought.  There are arguments for both sides, but it’s OK to say, “I don’t know and when God is concerned that I do know, He will reveal it to me.”  This website is going to stay out of the gap argument.  We’ll apply Deuteronomy 29:29 to it.

If there were a space of time in the so-called gap, the length of time is certainly not indicated. To say otherwise would require either speculation or else revelation. In other words, it would either be a revelation from God or else it would be a rationalized speculation from the pit.

The way that the fossils are situated in the earth makes us certain that the dinosaurs were made after the six days of creation and that many of them died in the great flood. The theory that they were made before the six days of creation doesn't fit with what we can observe in the layers of earth strata that the flood left everywhere, and it also conflicts with the Scripture.

Speculation can take many forms, and the human mind is very deceptive. It's far better to leave speculation to the elite class of Humanists. They are much more fitted to serve the flesh than those who are following Jesus. The interpretation of Scripture is surely only by the power of the Holy Spirit, as the Bible teaches, not by the power of the human mind, as the Humanist religion teaches.

One of the reasons that the idea of evolution took hold in the first place was a bit of a rational-lie-zed speculation that was popular around the time that Darwin released his book. That rational-lie-zed speculation stated that there could be no variations at all, not even adaptations within a kind of animal. Well, their rational-lie-zed speculation was easy to disprove, and that made it easy for Darwin to sell his book. And that made anti-God people really happy. No wonder God told us not to add anything to the Bible or take anything away from it. God doesn't need our creativity. He doesn't need our private interpretations. He doesn't need our natural minds to cause understanding of spiritual things. He supplies any ideas we may need.

Psalm 131
1 Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.
2 Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.

The absence of speculation is a mark of spiritual maturity.
