"Gap theory" simply stated, without other extraneous theories added in: The
Bible does not say that the heavens and the earth are 6,000 years old. 6,000
years begins with God saying, "Let there be light" in verse 3. But verses 1
and 2 happened before that, and the Bible does not tell us when. Mankind and
the present living land animals, however, are 6,000 years old.

I am not sure whether your last sentence is intended to be a statement of fact or only of what "Gap theory" claims, but there is ample archaeological and geological evidence that this is factually incorrect.
