Sorry. I think we have a small misunderstanding. I probably wasn't clear about this aspect of my current thoughts on the subject.

I do believe the "days" are literal 24 hours periods. I just think that there were previous Earth ages and that there was a "gap" between the creation "days" and the original creation of matter itself.

Hope that makes sense.


I should have read your post a bit more thoroughly, sorry.

Yes, I am now quite intrigued by this gap theory. I'd heard it mentioned before, but never really read into it or knew exactly what the belief was. It may well be a possibility and makes me consider on the wonders of God before we came along! Interesting concept. I'd like to learn a bit more about that if there is any information that ties in with the biblical word of God.
