It is called “The Darkness Theory” by Andrew Louf. The entire theory is only 5 pages long and it is free at:<br /><br />http://fairwarningbook.com/downloads.php<br /><br />Here is a summary of Louf’s new theory:<br />When the earth was formed approximately 4.5 billion years ago, our planet was on the verge of its first sunrise and sunset, but according to Genesis 1:2, the earth was placed into “darkness” and that first sunrise/sunset did not occur. For the next 4.5 billion years, the earth rotated around the sun in “darkness.” Louf believes that according to Genesis 1:2, “the Holy Spirit hovered” over the surface of the earth providing our planet with all of the light and sustenance it needed. During this period, God created the complex and robust forms of life we find in the fossil record. According to Louf, evolution never happened and its theory is worthless. Then after 4.5 billion years, it was time to lift the “darkness.” Therefore, a few thousand years ago, over a period of six 24-hour days, portions of the seas, land, plant, and animal life were released from the control of the Holy Spirit and given over to the natural forces of the universe. With success each day, God declared, “It was good.” On the sixth day, God created Adam and Eve and gave them dominion over the earth. This makes total sense to me and I have never heard of it before.<br /><br />“The Darkness Theory” seems unique because it satisfies all of the requirements I have been looking for:<br />1) It is the most literal interpretation of Genesis Chapter 1 (ie. “darkness” means “darkness”),<br />2) There are seven 24-hour days that occurred a few thousand years ago,<br />3) Completely denies the existence of evolution, and<br />4) Science (old earth) is accepted, as long as evolution is rejected<br /><br />This makes more sense to me than any other theory I have read.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
