Hmmm.  "replenish" has nothing to do with "replenishing anything"?

No.  AFTER Moses said in the beginning, after verse 1, a GAP
is there.  How else do you explain the correlation between
Jer 4:22-26 and Isaiah 14:16-17?  We cannot simply make statements
saying, WRONG and not back them up.

You have opverlooked the thought I forwarded saying that it is
not that BEFORE Gen 1:1 there was a gap, but AFTER.

Another flat statement with no basis.  You must prove it.

Worry took us from 1000 years to 70?

It is not left out if you look at the whole Bible as one book.
