It's called the Gap theory.That's an interesting opinion, which raises some equally interesting theological questions, don't you think?
God spoke and it was done.I see nothing in that little creed that requires a Christian to specify how God did it.
You said it yourself.This was His divine presence, the locus of His place and power in the Israelite religion.
What, exactly, then would "shekinah energy" be?
Having fun?Gap, it's only a theory.
It's called the Gap theory.
God spoke and it was done.
I give up ... what was God doing before and during the "Gap"?a statement which answers exactly none of the interesting theological questions raised -- namely, what was God doing before and during the "Gap"?

I'm off to Sunday school with this one.
Correct.Then you agree that you, I, and quite literally every single point in the universe is saturated with shekinah energy 24/7, correct?
There are truths so well hidden, that only the possessor of those truths know them.
Unless they are expressed or implied, no one else will ever know what they are.
Those are called "apocryphal truths."
