A Theological Defense of "Gap Theory"

Ah, Wikipedia!Gap creationism - WikipediaIf you follow the source links at the end of the article, you get a more in-depth explanation of things in terms of the pro/con where this theory is concerned.I used to be heavily involved in this sort of debate years ago, but I recently came to the conclusion that the accounts in the Old Testament (and pretty much everywhere else) of the Bible were written with a very narrow audience range in mind. To assume that the Bible is the end all be all of advice to every single person on Earth is ludicrous--the general laws of grammar in any piece of prose in any language dictates that you write for a specific audience, you stick to the point and you do in a manner that the audience will understand.Conclusion: God was dealing with a bunch of nomadic tribesmen, they couldn't comprehend numbers above a thousand very readily, and fell into euphemisms like "as the sands by the sea" and such. How much more of a step is it to realize that God wasn't going to waste time trying to explain the entire realm of Physics and Thermodynamics and Quantum Mechanics to a people that couldn't comprehend them anyway? In short, it was a tale told to satisfy their curiosity on the matter and turn their attention back to the needs of survival. Nothing more or less.Yeah, that was unrelated, but I'm not going to bill anyone for the time it took to write it out.
