Mystery Of The Ages - Chapter 4: Mystery of Civilization - Herbert W Armstrong - 1985

Herbert W Armstrong

FEW stop to think about it, but when you do, could anything be wrapped in more mystery than this world's civilization? How explain the astonishing paradox, a world of human minds that can send astronauts to the moon and back, produce the marvels of science and technology, transplant human hearts - yet cannot solve simple human problems of family life and group relationships, or peace between nations? The developed nations have made awesome progress. They have produced a highly mechanized world providing every luxury, modern convenience and means of pleasure Yet they are cursed with crime, violence, injustice, sickness and disease, broken homes and families. At the same time more than one-half the world is living in illiteracy, abject poverty, filth and squalor. Violence and destruction are rapidly multiplying. Many ask, "Why, if God exists, does he allow so much violence and human suffering?" - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
