See: The Gap Theory This theory holds that the gap in time between God's initial creation in Genesis 1:1 and His subsequent re-creation (The Seven Days of Creation) is when Satan rebelled against God. Notice 1:1 says God created the heavens and the earth. 1:2 says" the earth was void and darkness ruled over the face of the deep" showing something chaotic happened. The time frame here could be billions of years, which can account for the old age of the earth and universe. The book "Earth's Earliest Ages" By G.H. Pember details this theory and the time gap between Genesis 1:1 and 1:3 very well.

Is there a book before Genesis?

What was the time period of the Book of Genesis?

A:Most people are interested in when the Genesis creation began, and there are various estimates around 4000 BCE, with the most famous estimate, by Bishop Ussher, at 4004 BCE.Because the first creation story in Genesis 1:1-2:4a is not linked to any other passages in the Book of Genesis, it is timeless and could have taken place in any period of the past, but it clearly states that the whole of God's creation took six days.Conversely, the second creation story in Genesis 2:4b-25 was not limited to just six days, so could have taken as long as God chose. It is linked through Adam's descendants down to historical times, which is how theologians have been able to create a timeline for creation.The Book of Genesis ends with the death of the legendary Joseph, somewhere around 2,200 years after the creation of Adam in the second creation story - around 1800 BCE, although estimates vary.


Date of Genesis 1?

The Book of Genesis, which includes Chapter 1, is believed to have been written around the 15th to 5th century BCE. However, the events described in Genesis 1 are typically understood as taking place well before the time of its writing, often considered to depict the creation of the world as outlined in the Judeo-Christian tradition.
