8. Holding to A Young Earth Philosophy of 6,000 Years, Causes Your Witnessing to Be Ineffective.

Personally, I have witnessed to scores of people who have endorsed evolution. Their reasoning is that man has been on the earth millions of years; or, i.e., since the earth was originally created; therefore, they associate man's existence as equal to the age of the earth. This is the problem. When they understand that the Original Creation of the earth could very well be millions of years old; BUT, that man has only been on the reconstructed earth for approximately 6,000 years; the "gap" or, better terminology, the lapse of time between the Original Creation and God remodeling the earth for human life, disassembles the theory of evolution. It was the angels that occupied the Original Creation, not man. 9. After The Rehabilitation of The Earth

After the earth was rehabilitated, man was created and placed in the Garden of Eden. If one would trace the genealogies from Adam to Noah, you will find it is 1056 years. The flood came when Noah was 600 years old. (Genesis 7:6; Genesis 7:11). Therefore the time from the creation of man to the flood is 1656 years. Should one desire a continued, concentrated study of the years from the flood to the birth of Christ, they would arrive at approximately 2,345 years. Thus, from Adam to Christ is close to the figure of 4,000 years. Add another 2,000 plus from Christ to the present, and you have man on the earth for only 6,000 years. Therefore, the Gap Principle, as documented in Scripture makes evolution an absolute impossibility. The Gap Principle made it possible for me to lead many people to Jesus Christ as their Savior, who had been influenced by the evolutionary philosophy.
