The preachers of atheism fulfill the Scriptures by denying the authority of Jesus Christ. He tells us plainly through the apostolic testimony that ‘scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts…they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water…perished, being flooded with water.’ [2 Peter 3]
How is it that they are willingly ignorant? They deny the Genesis Flood by inventing the theory of macro-evolution to explain the fossil record. Do the fossils show a continuum of intermediates from one life form to another? The doctrine of Punctuated Equilibrium is an admission that the fossil record does not contain the expected transitional fossils. A handful of disputed fossils will not do when the theory predicts a seamless transition by gradual mutation over millions of years. Therefore, the fossil record has nothing to do with macro-evolution.
Macro-evolution theory makes a mockery of the scientific method. When a theory makes a validating prediction that does not hold true, the scientist would begin to question his theory. But when the data requires a modification to the theory that actually invalidates the theory, then we can know that it is no longer about science.
Now the reason for this mocking is evident…they will not submit to the authority of God’s Anointed, even to the point of embracing nonsense. The issue is spiritual rather than scientific. They would rather perish in their sin than have this man rule over them…
‘But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.’ [2 Peter 3:7]
