Is the Gap Theory really important?

"Gap Theory" or "Destruction / Reconstruction" for me is a proper understanding of the Bible. What genuine problems exist, if I am convinced of them, I will admit. What many opposers to Gap Theory propose as problems we will see are not. And at the same time I will attempt to reveal some theological problems with some YEC views.
This will be a theological defense. I will not be saying much about dating methods and such science techniques. I will try to resist such anyway.

So are you saying that your theological defense is Biblically based? (The study of Gods relation to the world?)
Just to reconsolidate: What IS the Gap Theory? (Im too lazy to look it up! )

Gradually it was disclosed to me that the line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either, but right through every human heart, and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. Even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained; and even in the best of all hearts, there remains a small corner of evil. --Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago
