Bible Question:
Genesis 8:22 "While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat, Winter and summer, And day and night Shall not cease." Is this a promise that "global warming", "nuclear winter" or other disasters will never have the devastation that some scientists predict? |
Bible Answer: Pastor Glenn, warm greetings. The secular world laughed at evangelical Christians when Darwin's godless theory of evolution was published. Many believed it would be the final curtain for Chistians who held to the Genesis account of God's creation. Today we know they were dead wrong, and Darwinism is being rejected by true scientists in increasing numbers as they examine this theory anew and find it seriously flawed. Pseudo-scientists and humanists long have been at enmity with the Scriptures, burning the midnight oil in a vain effort to prove them wrong, an enterprise at which they have failed abysmally. The "true science" of yesteryear is the myth and fable, the old wives' tales, of today; and, perchance, what the scientific community views as ultimate truth today will become the ridiculous lie of tomorrow. Science struggles to disprove the Bible and surpass it through modern scientific proofs and discoveries, but the irony is that science is now only making a small beginning to catch up with the truths that have been written down for centuries in God's word. Science has been disproved vast numbers of times. The Bible, not once. Therefore, without hesitation I will take God at His word, believe the promises of Genesis 8:22, and let the skeptics worry about a nuclear winter. Global warming? Well, it may not be global, but that's not much consolation to us dwellers in Arkansas when it gets 100 degress in the shade in the middle of July! Brother, global or not, that's warm! --Hank |
