Most Christians know & believe that God created the world. However, Christians are wondering about that with all the talk about evolution and the supposed scientific facts. It causes some people to wonder if it was in 6 days or in 6000 years? Does science contradict with the Word of God? Some wonder if there is a gap between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2. Look at this and see what you think. This is a Q/A from 'Answers In Genesis' (I love that website & it has LOTS of info) . Leave me a comment and let me know if this information has changed your opinion at all. Be sure to click on the link below for a lot more great information.
Q: Did Jesus allow for a gap?
A: If you carefully study the words of Jesus, He made it plain that there can’t be a gap of billions of years between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2.
To dig deeper into this subject go to this link. It is really interesting and as a Christian will help you to be able to defend your faith even better.
In Mark 10:6, Jesus said, “But from the beginning of creation God made them male and female.” In these very words, Jesus clearly teaches that Adam and Eve were created in “the beginning of the creation”—not after billions of years had passed. Also, the expression “beginning of the creation” rules out any “re-creation” or “second start” as taught by many gap theorists.
The main reason that people try to place a gap between the first two verses of Genesis is to accommodate the supposed billions of years for the earth’s age. When one does this, he is essentially placing more faith in secular (i.e., without God) understanding than in God’s infallible Word.
Jesus made it plain that such a compromise cannot be done! And we should follow His understanding and His words—because, after all, He is the author of creation and the Word made flesh!
