That was then, this is now. As science has learned alot more than in the 1800's or 1900's, it has begun to conform more with scriptures. Don't deny it.
The Big Bang, the spontaneous appearance of certain species, polar ice melts, red tide, fish kills, global warming, light being the fundamental kick start, etc. It's silly to ignore the future, scriptures dictates, for the earth.
It has nothing at all to do with trends in science.
