I guess I disagree... I'll stick to what the Bible says.

That's good.  I do too, always.

If anything was created outside of those six days, then that would contradict the Ten Commandment, where it is specifically stated that "heaven and earth, the sea. and ALL that in them is" were created in those six days (Exod 20:11).  Since the angels are (and were) in Heaven, that is pretty conclusive.

Exodus 20:11 states, "The Lord  MADE, that means made out of already existing material, not CREATED, meaning create out of nothing!

Exodus 20:11 " For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. (KJV).

The word "made" does not imply already existing materials... that's nonsensical.

Lucifer including all of God's angels were created long before the six days of the restoration of the Earth.  God originally created the heaven and the Earth and placed Lucifer in charge of the society living there.

Job 38: 4, Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast2 understanding.
   

5, Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?6, Whereupon are the foundations3 thereof fastened ? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
   

7, When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

 

The stars, (angels) sang together during this original creation, Genesis 1 : 1 "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."

 

The were not singing together with joy over this?

 

Genesis 1 : 2 "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."

We are undergoing a massive flood here at the moment and I don't see anyone here singing with joy!

I think that's inferring too much... but you're welcome to your opinion about what those verses are stating.

To me the Gap Theory sounds too much like evolution... conclusions without supporting facts. In this case,

no Biblical support.

Personally, I'll stick to the Bible which totally supports the Gap in time.

Create and Made are two totally different words with totally different meanings.

Webster's:  . . Made, constructed, shaped, formed.

Create; 1. . . . To bring into being from nothing, to cause to exist.

Create.  .  .  .  God originally created the different parts of the material universe, "In the beginning," and it is clear that by the Word of God the materials were brought into existence and then 'BY HIS HANDS" He formed the various parts of the universe.

That is, as God spoke, the materials came into existence as fast as they materialised He used them to form all things with His Hands (Ps. 8 : 3 ; 2 Peter 3 : 3 - 9 ; Proverbs 26 : 10).

Now some use Exodus 20 : 8 - 11 ; 31 : 17 to prove that the heavens and the Earth were created in the six days of Genesis 1 : 3 - 2 : 25, and therefor that they were created about 6000 years ago.

However, nothing is said of the original creation of the heavens and the Earth in these passages. In these Scriptures the Hebrew asah, meaning to make out of already existing material, is used instead of bara, to creat out of nothing. These verses picture the re-creation work of the six days, and not the original creation "In the beginning." Asah never means to create. It is translated MADE 659 time; make 449 times; maketh 59 times; makest sixteen times; maker 13 times; making 11 times and madest three times.

When God said, "In six days the Lord made heaven and earth," He had in mind the restoration of the heaven (firmament, or clouds) and the earth to a habitable state as it was before the destruction of Lucifers kingdom by the flood of Genesis 1 : 2.

So we're going to quibble over "made" vs "created"? That is really specious.  Well let's look at another Scripture (Heb: 11:3), which says that God created everything out of nothing.  So why do Christians quibble?

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

Haha... no, no...it's the other way 'round.

I still haven't seen one verse that suggests an Earth prior to Day 1 which is Gen. 1:1-5.

Its the people who refuse to believe the Scriptures that are the quibblers.  Read this again with an open and honest heart asking the Holy Spirit for guidance;
