1. The "gap theory"/ "ruin-restitution theory" -Its description: it includes millions of years as well as six normal days, between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 is a gap, which includes a great catastrophe. -Its origins -Its refutation: It doesn't satisfy the demands of uniformitarian geologists, it reads into Genesis 1:2 what is not there, the Scriptures used to buttress this view do not do so (Genesis 1:28, Isaiah 45:18, Jeremiah 4:23), the Scriptures clearly teach that death and decay came through Adam's sin, in Genesis one what God had just made is called "good" six times, the gap theory contradicts the Sabbath command of Exodus 20:8-11, the gap theory postulates millions of years of life on earth without light or sun, which were not created until the first and fourth days. 2. The "historical creation"/ "land" of Palestine theory. -Its description: the word "beginning" in Genesis 1:1 refers to an indefinite period of time, beginning with Genesis 1:2, the Hebrew word "eretz" means "land" not "earth" -Its refutation: the word "beginning" in Genesis 1:1 does not mean an indefinite period of time, the transition from "earth" (eretz) to "land" (eretz) is not obvious, the Scriptures clearly teach that death and decay came through Adam's sin, this theory contradicts the Sabbath command of Exodus 20:8-11 3. The old universe, young earth theory -Its description -Its refutation: the interpretation of the Hebrew words translated "let there be" in Genesis 1:3, 14 instead as "appoint" stretches the natural meaning of the text, in Genesis 1 the Hebrew word "asah" means "make", not "appoint"
