Book - Informed and Unfilled by Weston Fields

Unformed and Unfilled is a critic of the Gap Theory – the idea that the time required for evolution can be found in a multi-million year gap between an original creation in Genesis 1:1 and the re-creation of Genesis 1:2. An alternative version is the Day Age Theory in which each day of the creation account of Genesis 1 is a multi-million year gap which again is supposed to bring the Genesis account in line with 'modern' evolutionary theory. The book copywrite date is 1976 and is now in it’s 6th printing

Weston Fields argues from Hebrew grammar and vocabulary that it is possible to believe the Genesis account is false, but not that the text allows for either the Gap Theory or the Day Age Theory.

This book is heavy slogging for one unfamiliar with the Hebrew language but well worth the effort. It presents a strong argument for a traditional interpretation of the creation week and for a short age of the cosmos, one that does not allow enough time for evolution to take place.
