Bible Note: Pastor Glenn, good to hear from you. ....... Some years ago I attended a series of lectures delivered by a geologist with a Ph.D. The man was also a Christian. During one lecture he quoted extensively from Genesis, Job, and Isaiah, including the verses you quote in your post. At one point he stopped and observed with a chuckle, "Isn't it amazing how much God knew back then, centuries before modern scientists arrived on the scene to explain His universe to Him?" --Hank |
