is false.
Scripture tells us how the earth has already been destroyed and re-created. One of the most helpful passages is Jeremiah 4:23-26:
(KJV)
Jer 4:23-26 KJV - 23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. 24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. 25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. 26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger.
The "gap theory" explains how this happened.
One of the most popular ways of understanding the creation account in Genesis is known as the Gap Theory or the ruin and reconstruction theory. Although there

You demonstrate my point exactly. Both Jewish and Christian orthodoxy believe in superstitions and myths, the “letter of the Law”, which prevents them from perceiving the spiritual, the pesher, the allegorical, the gnostic meaning of scripture. If the spirit of truth exists, if the Prince of Truth rules the intelligible kingdom, then such a divine being cannot operate in the souls who choose error over truth, who are completely dependent upon their senses (versus mind).
Because evolution is true and accepted as fact by the whole educated world, then your rejection of it precludes you from the spirit of truth for choosing to believe error. Hence, you take the Bible literally because the spirit is not talking to you. Why should he, when you don’t believe the truth when presented to you?
You are sabotaging yourself from receiving the fruits of the spirit, in this case, knowledge or gnosis, and don’t even know it.
“Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and
knowledge of God!
How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!” (Rom 11)
Unsearchable and inscrutable by the senses alone. “But we [Paul, TOR, gnostic Christians] have the MIND of Christ.” (1 cor 2:16)
I can see it and Paul could see it in his day Too.
“Yes, to this day whenever Moses is read a veil lies over their hearts. But when one turns to the Lord [the Divine Reason of El], the veil is removed.” (2 cor 3:15)
Do you want the living river flowing through your life opening up the meaning of scripture, revealing eternal mysteries of the cosmos, your place in it, your chosen name, a friend of the God Most High? Then start believing the truth in front of you.
”Jesus said, "Know what is in front of your face, and what is hidden from you will be disclosed to you. For there is nothing hidden that won't be revealed."
(Gospel of Thomas, #5)
IOW, know what is true in front of you through the sensible world, then abstract, infer, deduce out to the intelligible world by the Mind. Then the intelligible world will be revealed to you. In a sense, it is becoming at-oned with the cosmic life, seeing everything at once. (Docphin)
”I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows. And I know that this man was caught up into paradise—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows—
…and
he heard things that cannot be told, which man may not utter.”
(2 cor 12:2)
