Research Paper: Annotated Bibliography Assignment
Topic Selection: The Gap Theory
Dr. Terry Mortenson
Young Earth Creationsit View Summarized And Defended
https://answersingenesis.org/creationism/young-earth/young-earth-creationist-view-summarized-
and-defended/
This article discusses the current controversy among the churches about evolution and the age of
the planet.
It also includes a brief justification of the young-earth creationist viewpoint as the
sole correct interpretation of Scripture. But also why all of this is important for Christians. This
article is actually an excerpt from a lengthier work that was initially published in Answers
Research Journal in 2009 under the title Systematic Theology Texts and the Age of the Earth.
Dr. Monty White (2005)
Mind the Gap (Answers in Genesis).
https://answersingenesis.org/genesis/gap-theory/mind-the-gap/
This source explains the "Gap Theory" in detail, from the theory's origins to the reasons behind
its popularity. "In 1814, Dr. Thomas Chalmers, a respected Scottish Presbyterian minister, began
to advocate the idea of a gap between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2," for example. The cause for this was
geological rather than spiritual.
John D. Morris, PH.D. (2004)
How Young is the Earth
https://www.icr.org/article/how-young-earth
The material on this site offered useful information for my investigation of the young-earth
theory, which is based on the same "earth is young" concept as the Big Bang Theory. "First, from
a creationist standpoint, nothing in all of creation is older than the earth, because it was formed
"in the beginning" (Genesis 1:1).
Tom Mclver, (1998)
Formless and Void: Gap Theory Creationism
https://ncse.ngo/formless-and-void-gap-theory-creationism
This source is an influential supporting source for the non-traditional viewpoint, providing solid
arguments on the reasons for the "Gap Theory" idea.
As discussed in the article, the gap
hypothesis presented an appealing solution from this issue, allowing religious geologists to
maintain both their trust in the Bible and their scientific knowledge.

Coming to Grips With Genesis : Biblical Authority
and the Age of the Earth

This will be an excellent source for my research project, as it will provide several viewpoints and
theories on the Genesis creation. This book is said to have had a big impact on Dr. John C.
Whitcomb Jr. 's beliefs. He was an old-earth creationist who turned to a young-earth creationist,
as stated in the prologue. This book will also give quality and perspectives on both sides for my
research project.
