There’s a gap theory.
Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
(billions of years go by)
Gen 1:2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
This theory undermines the foundation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
God created everything in creation week, and he called it "very good." Adam and Eve lived in paradise, there was no death and no disease. Adam and Eve could literally walk with God and converse with him. Then Adam and Eve sinned by eating the forbidden fruit. Death, disease, and thorns entered the world, and mankind was forced to work to survive. Descendants of Adam (aka everyone) inherit his sin nature and as a result the default state of man is to live in sin. Jesus came along to save mankind by paying the penalty we all deserve, and if you accept his salvation and believe in his resurrection then you enter into eternal life with God.
Old Earth is fake news. To believe in old Earth means death and disease existed before mankind. That's backwards from what the Bible plainly states. Creation cannot be "very good" with death and disease running rampant. And if Adam & Eve were going to die anyway, then their act of eating the forbidden fruit made no consequence. And Jesus' work on the cross is without meaning.
The final redpill is the realization that God is real, and the Bible is true. Don't believe the fake news about old Earth and evolution. It's a lie to encourage you to sin and be proud of your sin.

No it doesn’t. The age of the earth has nothing to do with Christ’s Message. No matter how old or you g the earth is, the Gospel will always be the Gospel.
Death was Adam's punishment for sin. If death existed before Adam, back when God called creation "very good," then why would Jesus come to save us from death? That doesn't make any sense.
What really happened was God created a world without death. Adam sinned and brought death into the world. Jesus came to save men from death (by living a sinless life, dieing on a cross, and resurrecting from death).
Adam wasnt punished with death..
Adam ate the fruit of knowledge, and became aware of death. That's what its teaching us about. Man coming up from the animal kingdom and learning of his own mortality.
Paradise was our ignorance, ignorance is bliss after all. You could say dogs live in paradise still.
Analysis of the Bible provides an answer for everything.
