November 24, 2009 marks the 150th anniversary of the publication of "On the Origin of Species," the book that made Charles Darwin a household name. That event came when Darwin was 50 years of age, and so 2009 also marks the bicentennial of his birth. This message explores the historical context in which the publication occurred and examines in particular the impact of this book on the religious world. Sadly, there were more than a few orthodox ministers and seminary professors who believed they must accommodate the Bible to Darwin's ideas, even if to do so meant to dismiss in some way the Biblical teaching concerning a world wide flood in Noah's day. Peter actually predicted that the days would come when such skepticism would arise that would threaten to overwhelm the believers in Christ. Those who have become followers of Darwin are marked by a malicious character that breaks down the moral absolutes of society. They are also marked by a stubborn refusal to receive the truth of God's Word, and they despise any prophecy of coming judgment. But Peter's message is clear. Darwin and all who have followed him and sought to promote his views will face the judgment of God, as will all who refuse to receive the truth that God has revealed in the Person of Christ without whom nothing was made that was made.
