Alright so here's the thing, news articles by the dozen keep popping up about how one day an asteroid is going to blow up the planet and going to wipe us all out like it did with the dinosaurs. The thing is that I don't think the Bible mentions anything at all about this. I think that it talks about earthquakes and volcanoes being the means of destruction and how the end of the world is going to be gradual. However, even though I am definitely proud of my faith, I know that it can't be proven or disproven and that's why it's called faith because it's what you believe in your heart to be true.
When it comes to science though it's a bit different than that because although science has been wrong before, they usually can prove that something is or isn't going to happen. I also believe that science and Christianity can both be right and back each other up. Like I believe God created the big bang and that He also set evolution in motion. I realize that a major argument that goes with this is then what about Adam and Eve? In Genesis 2:7 it talks about how God created man out of dust and then in Genesis 2:20-25 it talks about how God made Eve out of Adam's rib.
Here's my question though that I know that I've asked before on here,.. how do we know that Adam and Eve looked like the kind of human beings that we see today? They could have looked like apelike creatures or cavemen or something. None of us were around in the beginning of creation just like none of us were around when Jesus was born to know what He looked like. Sure we have our general ideas but none of us knows for sure and we won't know until we get to Heaven.
Anyways I'm sort of getting off topic a bit here but at the same time I'm not because the truth is that even though scripture doesn't mention an asteroid, it doesn't mean that it won't happen because of the fact that maybe the earthquakes and volcanoes will only be the beginning of the end and an asteroid will finish us off. In the end nobody but the Father in Heaven knows when it will be, and nobody knows exactly how it will take place until it does. Matthew 24:36
