Over the past 300 years, scientific breakthroughs have forced Christians to reexamine time-honored creation doctrines.
In light of new information, important questions demand thoughtful answers. Can we rectify the geological record with biblical timelines? Where do dinosaurs fit in? And if God created Adam and Eve in his likeness, is evolution a viable theory?
Authors Dr. William I. Cooper, MD, and Gerald W. Lunt, BA, explain it all in their new book, The Theory of Devilution.
When God created the universe through the Big Bang, his exiled angel, Satan, found a new home on Earth-where flora, fauna, and hominids evolved over eons of Satan's rule. In his second creation act, the omniscient and perfect God expunged Satan's world in the first great flood. The devil's people perished to make room for Adam and Eve, the pinnacle of evolution. This second major creative act set biblical events into motion, eventually leading to God's ultimate gift: his son, and our Savior, Jesus Christ.
Gap creationism marries theology and science through not one, but two, major creative acts of God. And The Theory of Devilution puts a fresh spin on classic gap theory by illuminating Satan's very real role in human history.
