The answer to the age old question is: God created and recreated earth, causing a "jaw Breaker" layered effect on the planet and leaving the impression of evolution in His wake. Evolutionist are nothing but archeologist's digging through a big dump of thrown away versions of separate creations.
The Biblical account of this answer is written as the first 2 verses of the Bible. Please visit The Gap Theory — Coming Soon for a full explanation and diagram.
Thank you for your consideration to posting the only answer to your discussion that makes sense and dispels both the "Scientific Evidence" and the "Fool Gospel Christian".
Am I the only God Fearing man that is mad as Hell over this idiot "Christian" opening a museum depicting Adam and Eve w/Dinosaurs living together on a planet that is only 6000 years old? I wish "Christians" would stop giving science good reason to believe in Nothing. It's hard to blame them sometimes.....
Peace,

After reading your proposal and briefly visiting your website I found couldn't discern your position, let alone follow the introductory arguments for it. If you're so inclined I suggest you try again. Clearly describe your position and briefly outline the arguments for it. Use links only as supporting or clarifying references - do not rely upon links to make your arguments for you, even when they're links to your own website.

I think the position is a variation of Catastrophism, the 19th Century idea, with a 'revamping' of sorts. Still - I agree that the OP needs work to clarify such issues. The revamping seems to have been in part down to Velikovsky and Gene Scott - Ray Martinez's most frequently cited authorities if I recall correctly, just to give you an idea of the kind of argument that might be being pursued here.
Of course it could just be a way of increasing visitors to a low traffic website, but only if one was to be cynical about this kind of thing.

Oh for Heavens sake!
First of all, it's clearly not "my" position. I’m no theorist or grammar-ist, as you will soon witness. Dr. Gene Scott taught this theory as my website credits. I simply ascribe to it.
It's clearly not shocking that you can't "discern the position." This overly simple truth has apparently been "indiscernible" from the get, to a great many minds. (Including my own until the light was turned on.)
It's really hard to "dumb it" down anymore for you. But let's give it go with the correct translation of the original text, (As taught by Dr. Scott) of Genesis 1: 1-2.
Verse One: In the beginning, God's (The name of God used here is Elohim. Elohim is plural, and good for a whole other debate.) created the Heaven's and the Earth. (BigBangOne)
Verse Two: But, the earth became void and a wasteland. (Over millions or billions of years and many re-creations or big bangs to include Dinosaurs, Neanderthals and God only knows what else!)
There you have it. Everything "Science" promotes as "Evidence of Evolution” is nothing but the corpses of dead Earth's gone by. The Bible picks the story up 6000ish years ago (Sometime after God RE-CREATED the earth as we know it today.) with the creation of the Adamic race. (Please see illustration on website.)
As to your concerns about links to my website: The Gap Theory — Coming Soon : I heard about the Gap Theory well over 25 years ago. It wasn't until the recent opening of the "Creation Museum" that I was moved to stand up for the Sane Members of Christianity. Just so happens I'm in the domain name business, and have the tools and ability to communicate via websites. (See my company http://www.domainembarking.com ooops, I guess I just did it again.) So, I can’t separate promoting my website from my entry here.
Finally,
The Late, Great Dr. Scott used to say, "You don't have to park your brains at the front door of the church to be a Christian." I would add: Or at the front door of "Higher Education." I'm only out to promote one thing: Belief in Christ and the Bible story is based on MORE FACT AND SCIENCE then the faith that science puts in its ridiculous theory that ALL came from NOTHING. Even a child can grasp that nothing has no creative power. Nothing, is in fact, NOTHING!
Peace,
BigAddison

I at first thought so, too, because his first paragraph was pretty clear, but in his second paragraph he referenced his website and said it contained "a full explanation and a diagram," and I could no full explanation nor a diagram of catastrophes. Since his website also introduces the terms gap theory and "Science-ism" without clarifying how they tie into his thread proposal, I found I couldn't be sure what his topic was. That's why I encouraged BigAddison to post a complete explanation.
If he can clarify instead of posting as he did in Message 4 then I'll take another look. He needs to explain how "gap theory" ties into his ideas about a series of catastrophes, and how a diagram of ape-to-man evolution supports such a view. Or you can have this one - I didn't really want it, I only picked it up because it had been sitting in the queue for three days.
