For this they willingly are ignorant of,
that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
The people doing the complaining are willfully ignorant of and ignororing the CREATION of the EARTH how that when Jesus Christ SPOKE the world into existence, and then spoke and created LAND masses to rise up out of the water and spoke again and created an atmosphere separate from the water and lands. THIS ALL is found in the first 6 chapters of Genesis which these UNSAVED people could easily have read and understood.
WHAT were they lacking?
FAITH. SAving faith in Christ, the ONE who created the very planet they are living on.....
