Is the End of Days coming?

Probably not: Look at these Hurricane Frequency and Earthquake Frequency charts. Though there *has* been an increase in some types of storms over the past decade, it’s because there was a decrease the previous decade. The data just doesn’t support it. Does the bible actually say things will increase before the end of times? If […]
