You helped me believe the bible is true, which, in return, helped me realize God is real. I never really thought about religion or God until I saw your videos. Now I read my Bible every day and have made it my purpose to get to know God and his son Jesus. Thank you for sparking my interest in the bible. Ken Ham rocks.

I realize the Bible seems to make astonishing statements. But Creation IS astonishing. Life IS astonishing. The things Jesus said and did are astonishing . The wonderful words of life are astonishing. And I am helped by these things in a way nothing else ever has

[MeLancer]

Thank you Ken Ham for stressing the importance of a bible based view of creation without forcing the acceptance of a millions of years timeframe. God is all powerful and doesn't need the gap theory.

Mr Ham you came to my church many years ago in Athens Georgia Athens Georgia. I have followed your teachings probably 40 years. I have also followed a Bible teacher Les Feldick (Through the Bible). He was the finest Bible teacher I have ever known. He did have a theory about the gap theory. He was very adamant that it was possible. He also taught creationism and you might think about that. By the way my church is Prince avenue Baptist church in Athens Georgia. I know how busy you are but please follow up. We can ask Jesus when we meet in heaven. You are a blessing to so many.

Thank you Ken for keeping us informed and encouraging us to stand on the word of God.

[Emperor-Dra-of-TX]

Line on line, precept on precept. Absolutely correct. Well done sir.

Our God spoke it all into existence.


What a powerful God we serve.

The only millions of years that exists in the Bible is God has always existed as the Ancient of Days. That's it.

[SalvableRuin]

Mr. Ham, I am so grateful to you and those like you who take God at his word just as our father Abraham did millennia ago. Ever since I first became a believer, I have had the word of God and your ministry to show me that I can trust what God says without compromise. God bless you, brother.

[warwickpayne]

Thank you Jesus for the wisdom you have given brother Ken.

[jbbryson]

Brilliant and devastatingly impactful content. Thank you.

[williamhoodtn]

Very well stated and communicated sir. Thank you!

[mobiletech]

Thank you for this info. I believe in our Lord's Word - not man's word. Excellent Video

[JeffBetker]

Excellent explanation. I have friends who believe in the gap theory, though they’ve never heard of the gap theory per se. Thanks for pointing out Exodus 20:11. It emphasizes the point that Genesis 1:1 is part of the six days of Creation, rather than prior to them.

[SeedFiddler-kpeg]

Thank you for your systematic and faithful approach to understanding God's Word. God bless, Miles

The gap theory is that there may be a long time between Genesis 1:1 & Genesis 1:2. This does not mean that time must be millions of years, nor that anything in particular happened during the gap, except that at the end of the gap, the earth was tohu & bohu. The theory does not require the translation of "became" in 1:2 instead of "was." The theory does not imply that evolution took place during the gap.

[lupeguadalupe]

Thank you for that explanation.
I have heard of this theory before and had many questions on how they came up with this conclusion.

Great video!

I'll add another thing that I originally heard presented from Dr Bill Barrick's Hebrew Grammar lectures:
In Genesis 1:2 it uses the word "hayah" which is in the QAL Perfect Static Stative meaning it is a state of being (is/was), and the only way it could be an Imperfect Dynamic Stative (state of becoming) is if the following word started with a Lamed prefix, but in Genesis 1:2 it does not, making it a Static Stative "to BE" (in this case "was") and to "EXIST."

To put it simply: The Hebrew text really does NOT in any possible way, shape, or form, allow for any hint of a possibility of a gap theory of the world "becoming" over "millions of years", and is emphatic in that it "was."
