The Gap Theory in my opinion and the opinion of most of the biblical scholars who's work I have read is one of the biggest compromises of scripture in order to "accommodate" mans secular ideas ever proposed. I find it shocking how this teaching directly contradicts scripture and how God said he did it. The biggest thing they seem to forget is that "scripture interprets scripture". In Exodus 20 (a considerable amount of time after Genesis) God said "For in six days the Lord made Heaven and Earth, the sea, and all that in them is" He then goes on to say he "rested on the seventh day" Wow! if a day is a million years that would be some rest huh? I would love to tell my boss "hey I'll be back in a million, I'm taking a little break from work.
And since those who profess to be Christians want to obey Christ (Matt 28:20) and since we who follow Jesus are Little Christ, Christ Followers, or one who is in Christ etc.... we should obey all that Jesus taught should we not? So then if Jesus quotes the old testament and believed it literally, shouldn't we? Jesus spoke about creation a number of times as well as the other authors of the new testament. And Jesus said "my words will never pass away" A list of old testament quotes being quoted in the new testament - http://www.bible.ca/b-canon-old-testament-quoted-by-jesus-and-apostles.htm
