A Self-fullfilling Christian Prophesy
Biblical Prophesy "Near the end of time, there will be an increase in the accumulation of knowledge."
The exact reverse of this statement can also be verified.
The increase in knowledge has sprang out from a period of lessor knowledge that was known in a period before, learned by experimentation or by accident or necessity.
Lets take a look shall we?
Creative inventions and accomplishments that have sprung from experimentation, accident or necessity.
(2007) I-Pods, X-Box, Computers, Space Travel and going to the moon, Quartz watches, Flat screen TVs, Automobiles, Airplanes, Harnessing of Electricity, Telephones, Discovery of germs and bacteria, (1590) Microscopes, Telescopes, discovery of other planets and of distant galaxies similar to our own, (1492) discovery that the planet is not flat, (pre-1491) the world is flat, the Sun revolves over the earth, the earth is the center of the universe, diseases are caused by demons and evil spirits, a god and Jesus lives in the clouds above and are watching and judging everybody, butterflies are called angels, virgin birth is possible, snakes and donkeys can talk, ghosts are real, some ghosts are holier than others, the invention of the wheel.
Unless we elect to go back and re-invent the wheel, an increase in knowledge will be an automatic self-fulfilled prophesy.
This pseudo prophesy is sufficient proof for some people to believe that the Bible is completely true.
The people living today (this instant) know more than the people that lived just yesterday (and are now deceased) and the day before and so on.
And so Jesus went out among them and cast out devils and evil spirits. Why? Because he was so very ignorant, he thought like so many people today think that diseases are caused by demons and evils spirits.
We now know after the invention of the mircroscope that most all diseases are caused by germs and bacteria, not by demon possession.
