• Let’s review. Are millions-billions of years necessary?

• What resources are available to refute the “gap” theory?


Let’s review. Are millions-billions of years necessary?
No. Not if we trust God’s testimony over man’s. A plain reading of Genesis does not indicate millions/billions - just days, with no need to find a place to put millions/billions.
Here is the text (NIV) 
https://www.blueletterbible.org/niv/gen/1/1/p1/s_1001

What is the “gap” theory, does it have anything to do with spark plugs or clothing? No this theory has nothing to do with clothing or automobiles but the supposed millions-billions of years that exists between Genesis 1: and 2. The so-called “Gap Theory” was proposed early in the 1800's, but which became popular around the turn of the century, has very few scholarly advocates these days. However, many Christians do still hold to it, mostly by tradition, having never examined it closely. There have always been many scientific and theological problems with the idea of a long gap of time between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2

What resources are available to refute the “gap” theory? (Besides a clear understanding of what Genesis says?)
