Actually, it was the Thinker or the Old Man or King Solomon in the Book of Ecclesiastes, and part of his problem was that he wasn’t hypocritical enough. However, remember the OLD TESTAMENT has limited positive and negative event horizons and were primarily based on illiterate tribesman’s stories that were told or sung over several centuries and more before being written down. So, 110 Degree Temperatures in the Canadian Province of British Columbia is something new under the sun; billion year old Antarctic Lake melting due to global climate change and draining into the Antarctic Ocean in about four days, is something new and would not be know without satellite imagery of the earth. The whole concept of satellite imagery would have confused the fuck out of the Empire of Jerusalem in the early first millenium BCE.
