The So Called Experts...

In 1965 the President of the United States, Lyndon B. Johnson, made a pompous statement that "So here is the Great Society. It's the time- and it's going to be soon- when nobody in this country is poor." It's interesting than that an estimated 842,000 adults and children are homeless in a given week, with that number swelling to as many as 3.5 million over the course of a year (http://www.nrchmi.samhsa.gov/facts/facts_question_2.asp). The president of the United States; Grover Cleveland, in 1905 stated that "Sensible and responsible women do not want to vote. The relative positions to be assumed by man and women in the working out of our civilization were assigned long ago by a higher intelligence than ours." It safe to say now that that's bogus. I am perplexed when individuals quote Genesis 3:16 to prove such a case. "To the woman he said, "I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing; with pain you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you." Last time I checked, the following was a curse of the fall, and not how we were intentionally supposed to live. The American industrialist and humanitarian in the 1900 stated that "To kill a man will be considers as disgusting (in the twentieth century) as we in this day consider it disgusting to eat one." Hmm, and yet the muder ratio in the United States is highest among all developed countries, around 5.5 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder), with rates in major cities sometimes over 50 per 100,000.

What are some other predictions the "experts" or higher ups" have made?
Harry M. Warner, who was president of Warner Brothers Pictures in 1927 said "Who the hell wants to hear actors talk?"
The President of the United states in 1876 (Rutherford B. Hayes) commented after participating in a trial telephone conversation stated "That's an amazing invention, but who would ever want to use one of them?"
Richard M. Nixon in 1973 proposed that "By 1980 we will be self-sufficient and will not need to rely on foreign enemies...uh, energy."
Dr. Dionysus Lardner (1793-1859) was a professor of Natural Philosophy and Astronomy at University College, London. When posed a question about the train, stated that "Rail travel at high speed is not possible because passengers, unable to breath, would die of asphyxia."

Be careful when you trust what the "experts" or what people in authority positions state. There are many who would seek to disprove the scriptures statements, but History reveals that humanity is shown to be the fools. 2 Corinthians 3-5 state that "And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake. If the Lord is truth and there blinded by him, I would say they are blinded by truth. If that's the case, and many are just feeling around in the dark, then don't be supprised when they grab a theory and then declare it a sound one. Just as if I was in a pitch black room, I would begin feeling around for something to trust in. If I found something that seemed sturdy enough at a quick glance, I may end up trusting in that thing to support me. Sadly, for some it will be the end before there "stick breaks", and they will not know they were on the wrong side.
