This leads at once 20 the question what
science has to say about tho possibility
Of and ''end OF the world" There has
survived. from some time In the last
century. the notion that astronomers had
proved. with mathematical certitude. that
earth and the solar system are immortai.
In truth. however n they have proved
anything on this subject Il Is that neither
tho earth nor the solar system. OF which
the earth is a member. Is immune from
destruction.
As far az physical possibility goes.
science knows no reason why the world
may not reach its contamination in such
= manner that the accompanying phe-
nonena would bear an astonishing re-
semblance to the dreadful scenes de-
picted in the Biblical prophecies.
Some Of the ways in which science
foresees that the earth may clo<e its
career as a habitabie globe require an
enormous lapse OF time. and It may be
confidently averred that the crisis In
such cases could not arrive for many mil
ions of years. For instance. the sun
Il doomed 20 ultimate extinction. In
frome 100000 TO 100000 years It will nc
longer send enough radiant energy to the
earth TO keep life going here and thus
the earth must slowly freeze.
But this gradual process Of extinction
was not what the scriptural writer's had
before their imaginations. and Il is not
what nervous people have IN mind when
they talk Of the end OF the world. The
elements Of suddenness and violence are
essential parts OF the predicted. and. for
many minds. dreaded and half-expected
finish. a
Here. again. science is accommodating.
Two ways may be mentioned In which
the earth may make tragic exit without
violating any law recognized by science
