"But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up." (2 Peter 3:10)
When the atomic bomb burst over Hiroshima in 1945, the thoughts of Bible-believing Christians everywhere turned almost immediately to this verse. There was also widespread concern that man's newly discovered ability might get out of control and cause all "the elements to melt with fervent heat"! Seemingly, Peter had prophetically anticipated, 1,900 years in advance, the modern discovery of nuclear fission.
Super sonic meteor impacts melt the elements and predate atomic weapons. In fact, craters created by atomic weapons jump started the study of meteor craters. I visit the Chesapeake crater frequently which was created by a force greater than all the atomic weapons in the world combined. Why couldn't Peter have been talking about meteor impacts rather than puny atomic weapons?
