Hi Lynne. We certainly do need prayer; lots of them.
Often when I watch a history show or science show which includes science and the Bible I am reminded of various stories in the Bible - Noah and the Ark - wipe out...,
the Tower of Babel - the know it alls who wanted to be right up there with God; he changed their language so that they could not communicate. That is happening today. We are so dependent on computer language and we are looking for all the answers and the God Particle and one day we're going to be like primitive man; unable to communicate. We'll be put back in our place.
We all want our cake and eat it too but we are getting to smart alecky and we need prayer to ask forgiveness and ask God what we need to be doing.
