The fact that Jesus didn't return and establish his kingdom was already an embarrassment to the church by the time 2 Peter was written, hence the shameless spin. To quote it in the 21st Century as some kind of assurance that all will come to pass is simply pathetic. Grow up.

Because that would mark that date as the beginning of the "last days." Presumably the last days before the end. Peter tries to cover himself by stating that god might seem to be a bit slow but that he's simply patient, but it's possible that we've been in the "last days" for hundreds of years now. Time is meaningless for an eternal being. The "last days" could encompass a time period of millions, billions, or trillions of years. Or longer. It's not as if god is getting old, and it's not as if he owes it to us to finish the job at all, much less within a specific time period. Maybe when Jesus spoke of Armageddon, he was actually referring to the heat-death of the universe.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Sorry - but as a claimed educator - YOUR statement is ONLY as good as the proof of the existence of a god YOU include to back up your statement - and I see NONE IF you have PROOF - by all mean post it here - otherwise - your statement is nonsense |
