Bible Question:
Now that N.A.S.A.'s Hubble space telescope can see a long ways off... http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap040309.html ... what are we to think of this verse? (Please look at the link, before you respond.) I am not saying that I'm pro-science. I am very much a creation beleiving Christian. But facts are facts and we need not to totally ignore them. We need the wisdom to make use of this knowledge. Is this another indicator that we're nearing the end of times? After all God gave this verse to Jeremiah for some reson. |
Bible Answer: Response to the two main points of your post: 1. I'm just now reading a very interesting book, edited by John F. Ashton, PhD. The title: "In Six Days." The subtitle: Why 50 Scientists Choose to Believe in Creation. It's quite powerful as all 50 of these scientists have PhDs in their respective science AND they're not just "flunkies" rejected by the science community. Each one has made major contributions to the science community and is quite successful in his/her own world. The 50 different sciences cover the whole spectrum from Astronomy to Zoology and everything in between. (The book even addresses the subject related to Information or Computer Science.) It's divided into 2 main sections: the first dealing with Science and Origins and the second dealing with Religion and Origins. You might also benefit by checking out the website, www.apologeticspress.org by Dr. Bert Thompson. 2. There are a multitude of scriptures in the Bible that speak to this rather difficult topic of the "End of Times" but the most powerful AND overriding statement is from our Lord Himself. Jesus says that the ultimate end of the world will come upon the world like a thief in the night and thus no one will know when that might be. I don't think no one will even come close to guessing when this might happen. I'm convinced we spend far too much time dwelling and discussing this subject. It doesn't really add anything to the whole of Christianity. Most often it causes bad feeling and much confusion for most of the people who do spend their time with this topic. I do hope my words here encourage you to seek other more useful and productive topics. God bless. Rowdy |
