The plain reading of Genesis does not support the "Gap Theory" or "Progressive creationism" and reads as nothing other than real  history and it takes grammatical acrobatics to make it say otherwise. 
The "gap theory" really stems from looking for answers about the chronological discrepancies in the Bible. The writers of Genesis did, in fact, take a sort of "gap year" between studies before resuming their work and translators only later realized that there was a period of time largely unaccounted for. So I think that some creationists are making an earnest attempt to fill that gap with as much time as possible in order to account for the chronological discrepancies.

Genesis 1:27 clearly states that God made man in his own image and it is quite obvious that he had the human characteristic of "developing" his plan and 4.5 billion years was not really such a great deal of time to him (given he has been around for eternity) pottering around in his workshop in order to get things just right.

What a lot of people don't realize is that the Coronavirus can kill mostly really old people and those with pre-existing conditions.

I know this may sound hard but you can't help thinking that someone up there is trying to reduce the population of oldies and obsessively sick people who are becoming a burden on the health system.

Surely God can be all-loving yet still hate.
