Exodus 20: 11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
We will discover an ongoing feud between the science of the Bible, and that which is derived from the likes of Darwin and other philosophers who do not believe the word of God. In the days of Noah, science and scripture collided, for there was nothing that one could have pointed to in the natural world, to support or verify what Noah was preaching. Rain had never fallen upon the earth but was rather watered by a mist that arose during the night.
Thus, no then-known science, or precedent could be used in ascertaining the truth of Noah’s prophecy. Folks would have to either believe, or utterly reject what the prophet was saying.
[Patriarchs & Prophets pp 97] The world before the Flood reasoned that for centuries the laws of nature had been fixed. The recurring seasons had come in their order. Heretofore rain had never fallen; the earth had been watered by a mist or dew. The rivers had never yet passed their boundaries, but had borne their waters safely to the sea. Fixed decrees had kept the waters from overflowing their banks.
Genesis 6:13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
