Has anyone here ever heard of the re-creation theory? I caught the last 10-12 minutes of a sermon by Willaim Luffman on TV and he was saying how he believed Gen 1:1 was the re-creation of the earth that started after Jesus saw Satan fall to the earth like lightning.
His idea was that Satan ruled the earth at one time then rebelled against God, started a war in heaven with a third of the angels they were cast down. It explained why the universe seems to be millions of years old and answered a a lot of questions other verses raised.
I understand just because something has scriptural support doesn't make it factual. People can take passages out of context and make it say something it doesn't. I'm not saying I buy into this theory, but would like to hear more about it if anyone is familliar with it. I can't find anything on it anywhere and it sparked an interest with me.
