**** 4.) The Gap Theory negates GOD’s Word not only because it adds an entire “re-creative process” and ensuing destruction (in or during a verse that fails to mention it); but also, in that such a disaster is not spelled out specifically, or clearly spoken of anywhere else in scripture that we can learn from it. Romans 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning,.. None of the New Testament writers or speakers mention it or refer to it. Christ referred to Noah’s Flood,
Sodomand Gomorah; two fairly devastating events that we can learn from, and HE used those historical facts to warn us! HE never mentioned the pre-Adamites destruction. As we will see later, when Christ refers to “the beginning”, HE always refers to Adam, Noah, etc. The New Testament backs that up repeatedly as well.

GOD explains the reasons why HE was going to destroy the earth (and all in it – Noah’s Flood) very clearly and with great detail. Moreover, Noah’s Flood is referred to throughout The Bible, even in The New Testament. What Gap proponents call “Lucifer’s Flood”(pre-adamic flood) is not spelled out in Genesis 1:2 at all, and not a single reason as to WHY God would have flooded the earth (at that time) is offered. No details given. It is not referred to in scripture (Christ never mentioned it, and the epistle’s never mention it. All we see and can learn from is SIN AND DEATH ENTER THE WORLD THROUGH ADAM AND NOAH FOUND GRACE WHEN GOD DESTOYED ALL THAT WERE IN THE EARTH.

To believe the Gap Theory, we have to believe that sin and death entered the world through a nameless person and was passed on generations of nameless people(s) who were destroyed without warning, without grace, without mercy, and without a hint of an atoning blood covenant. All of that flies in the face of our GOD Who seeks personal relationship with man. At the very least, that means knowing his name, but I digress.

Furthermore, one would have to go on to accept that GOD then re-created the world and all life forms in it. Creating man (with a name this time - Adam), In His Image, out of cursed ground, full of dead and destroyed creatures. This time however, when man sins, God prophesies and implements a plan of salvation through the shedding of blood and the seed of the woman - Christ Jesus!

That there was no redemptive plan for the Gap Theory’s “Pre-Adamites” goes against the character of GOD, Who is the Same yesterday, today, and forever. It sure seems like HE mellowed out considerably offering Christ Jesus to atone for our sins, but not those of the “pre-adamites”.
