Just for information's sake: <snip, snip>
Has anyone heard of the Gap Theory? Seems like it has actual Scriptural credibility. It's basically the idea that the Bible teaches an old earth and a young human race (but, still against evolution). I don't see a way to get human evolution into the Bible.
Gap theory does not work because it speaks of a time between days of creation in essence it speaks where the bible is silent/It adds to the creation account.
Here is something I wrote similar to gap theory, but does not change the complete biblical account or evolution in any way. It simply lines the two accounts up and shows how they can fit together.

LOL...no, it doesn't. It didn't then, nothings changed since. You keep linking it though, don't you. The silliest part, to me anyway...is that you've been provided with practical means to establish or discredit your hypothesis. Seems as though you still haven't decided that your own ideas are worth investigation. Why should anyone else think differently?
