0.  The ruin-reconstruction gap theory 

My view:

a.  This view attempts to reconcile the supposed long geological ages with the Scripture.  It envisions a first creation, which was left unfinished and was subjected to a cataclysmic ruin involving the fall of Satan.  A second creation was made in six days later on.

b.  This view has many problems:

1.  It has no chronology to support two creation accounts.  The so-called first creation has no beginning, no end, and no duration to tie in with the supposed second creation. Therefore, it is a myth.

2.  It seems to be a place to accommodate fossils and dinosaurs, but dinosaurs already fit nicely on the 5th and 6th days of creation (day 5 for sea dinosaurs and day 6 for land dinosaurs).  Most of the fossils fit nicely into the Flood account of Genesis 6-9.

3.  There is the problem of death and suffering before the Fall of man in Genesis 3.  The Bible indicates that death and suffering came about as a result of man’s sin.  Therefore death and suffering were not present before Adam was created.

4.  It is a way to say that God used evolution to bring about the existing universe.  Atheists laugh at those Christians who believe this, because the atheists know what Genesis is saying even though they do not believe it.  Those Christians who believe in long ages also have to believe that the Bible can mean anything anyone wants it to mean.  Therefore, how does anyone really know what the crucifixion and resurrection really mean?
