Every generation believed it lived in the end-times. . . My great, great, grandchildren will believe they live in the end-times too.

I agree with those who believe we are in the end times. If I live a good long life, am able to see my yet-to-be born grandchildren graduate college, then die, it won't change my opinion one whit.

From when I first became acquainted with prophecy in the 60's until now, things that we couldn't imagine THEN are all coming to pass.

I'll share these verses with you: "First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, "Where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation." But they deliberately forget that long ago by God's word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water."

2 Peter 3:3-5, NIV

Great. And, after giving the signs of the end times and stating that no man would know the exact day nor hour, Jesus also said,"What I say to you I say to all. Watch!".

Water huh? Umm I don't think the earth formed out of water. Suggest you read a science book and get the facts.

A belief in God and a belief in science are not mutually exclusive. But if God gave you the ability to reason, I'm pretty sure he'd want you to use your noggin about reality.

Where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation

Ummm...this is incorrect, and one of the problems with translations outside of the KJV.

The verse states "4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming?" It's the PROMISE that is being questioned, not his coming. The scoffers mentioned in the earlier verse, believe in creation, say their fathers are 'asleep'(not dead), in short, they believe PARTS of the Bible, but not all. The scoffers question where the PROMISE is, in the Bible.
