Whenever human beings want to prove to be wiser than God and try to go their way, it always ends in disaster and calamities. Yet, man has failed to learn from experience, and we have kept making the same mistakes repeatedly going against the laws of God and trying to fulfil what the Bible says in Job 21:22a – “Can anyone teach knowledge to God?”…
