Neat! One comment about the Gap theory and the word replenish.
Users of the KJV might have to stop and consider this word replenish. The KJV version was published in 1611, and as we all know, words change meaning over the course of time. One of these words that has changed in meaning is this word: replenish. (http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=replenish&searchmode=none)
The originial meaning of this word (dated back to the 14th century) meant "to fill up," not to refill. So the argument that this word supports a theory that the world was once full, was destroyed (or otherwise emptied), and was in need of refilling, is absolutely incorrect.
Cheers :D
