“But examine everything
carefully; hold fast to
that which is good.”

His invisible attributes, His eternal
power and divine nature, have
been clearly seen, being
understood through what has been
made, so that they are without excuse.

“Why then is not every
geological formation and every
stratum full of such intermediate
links? Geology assuredly does
not reveal any such finelygraduated organic chain: and
this, perhaps, is the most obvious
and serious objection which can
be urged against the theory. The
Charles Darwin
explanation
lies, as I believe, in
(1809-1882)
the extreme imperfection of the
geological record.”

Romans 1:18-20
For the wrath of God is revealed from
heaven against all ungodliness and
unrighteousness of men who suppress the
truth in unrighteousness, because that which
is known about God is evident within them;
for God made it evident to them.
For since the creation of the world His
invisible attributes, His eternal power and
divine nature, have been clearly seen, being
understood through what has been made, so
that they are without excuse.
Colossians 2:8
See to it that no one takes you captive
through philosophy and empty
deception, according to the tradition of
men, according to the elementary
principles of the world, rather than
according to Christ
2 Peter 3:1-6
This is now, beloved, the second letter I am
writing to you in which I am stirring up your
sincere mind by way of reminder, that you
should remember the words spoken
beforehand by the holy prophets and the
commandment of the Lord and Savior
spoken by your apostles.
Know this first of all, that in the last days
mockers will come with their mocking,
following after their own lusts, and saying,
"Where is the promise of His coming? For
ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues
just as it was from the beginning of creation."
For when they maintain this, it escapes their
notice that by the word of God the heavens
existed long ago and the earth was formed out
of water and by water, through which the world
at that time was destroyed, being flooded with
water.
