ABSTRACT
This chapter considers the explanation which places all of the geological ages between the first and second verses, declares that the earth was created perfect and was wrecked by the casting of Satan down to the earth, and claims that the days of Genesis involve only the reformation of the earth and the recreation of the life upon it in days 24 hours long, covering a total length of time of one week. What do we know about an early destruction of the earth by the fall of Satan? Nothing. That is also read into the biblical account. The explanation of Genesis is always given to make the days of Genesis 24-hour days. This then places all of the acts of God, described after the second verse as happening in recent times, approximately, say, in the last 6,000 years, certainly in the last geological period.
