I have not posted anything recently because I have been busy working on a book in support of the Gap Theory (to be released for publication in about two weeks). I am also in the process of producing a video commentary on the same same subject, based on the structure book. Here is a link to a brief (08:31) preview of the first part of the video. Please keep in mind that this is only a prototype of the design of the production. I would greatly appreciate constructive feedback that will enable me to improve the presentation.
Thank you and God bless.

There is a Greek word for Gap......Boloney! Believe Gods record and don't ADD to it.

I do not know of any Christian scientist who believes in the gap theory. Today I know of few others who give in credibility to a gap theory. There are no gaps in God. The gap theory is the imagination of early dispensationalist leaders.

First of all, welcome to the BB, worddigger.
I'd gently echo the other replies on this thread. The gap theory is a lie of Satan that never existed Pre-Darwin. It was invented to make the Bible help "prove" evolution. Like all evolutionary theories, it twists the facts to prove the theory. As a scientist, surely you of all people would know that the THEORY should be changed to support the facts, not vice versa.
It seems people have no problem with time as recorded in the rest of the Bible. When it says Joshua marched around Jericho once a day, we believe it without trying to make that day into years. When it says Christ arose on the third day we don't add thousands of years. But somehow, when it comes to Genesis and creation, man cannot or will not accept God's word at face value and believe the evening and the morning were the first day. Please don't continue to allow yourself to be sucked into this lie. -

My church's former pastor, the Rev. Jerry Vines, believes in the Gap Theory, but my current pastor does not.

No he doesn't -

In regards to Jerry Vines, I'd like to see what he does believe exactly. I found this:
I don't want to pay the 5 dollars to see the rest of the sermon, so I don't know where it is going with it... -

Welcome, and don't let the naysayers get you down. I can't do the video so can't give you feedback.
I'm also gap theory--not because I look for a way to accomodate modern science, but because I believe that is what the Bible clearly teaches.
Of course, today, that is no longer politically correct and will get you blasted. Prepare to be told you just refuse to shut up and believe God.
All I can say is I do believe God. I believed the scriptures taught the gap theory before I ever even studied the so called geological ages.
I don't believe God is a liar. Romans tells us people can look to nature and learn about God. So it does make sense that the normal laws of nature would not be at variance with God's Word. And only then can miracles be scene as truly miracles.
So be encouraged and speak the truth whether it is popular or not. -

Capernicus and Galilleo had to deal with stuff too. Fortunately, none of these people can place you under house arrest for the rest of your life. I don't believe in Gap theory, However, I don't believe youre being "anti-bible" or "Anti-Christian" or "Anti-God" by believing it. People supported a flat earth theory because of the bible. Quoting verses like this

We all speak of the sun moving through the sky and things like this. It's called looking at things from our perspective. I could say that the sun rose at 6:23 A.M. this morning. In absolute terms that statement makes no sense. The sun doesn't rise at all, much less at a particular time. But, in terms of my perspective, it did rise at a particular time. Much is the way we humans, regardless of scientific understanding, speak and write. Thus the bible uses the same phrases, even though there are many verses that point to things then not understood by science.
