2 Peter 3:3 (ESV) — knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in
the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires.
NOTE: There have
been scoffers throughout history, so understanding the phrase "last
days" does seem difficult. But there certainly are more scoffers today
than at any point in history. They think science gives them the evidence to be
vocal in their disbelief, although for myself, science doesn't contradict my
faith. I have found science to be a friend of faith. Evolution by random
selection is an example. Mathematically, it is impossible to build a single
cell by randomly adding parts that make up a cell. There is not enough time in
the universe. Also, the unique cosmological constants that make up our physics
are too finely tuned to be by chance. A slight deviation would make it
impossible for anything to exist. Today scoffers answer these charges with a
multi-universe theory (something that can not be proved). Why is that not a
"God-in-the gaps" solution as the scoffers charge Christians for
using the supernatural to explain the unknown? It is funny though--scoffers and
atheists are religious.
PRAYER: Father, open
our eyes to our foolishness. Help us to not be close minded to what we don't
want to believe. Help us to consider rationally all ideas. Help us to see how
you created the universe for good.
