Where is weaker and wiser found in the Bible?

Answer 1

I'm unable to find such a phrase in The Bible, and I bothered to search the online versions nonetheless.

I'm sure there is a verse of verses that speak somewhat about this topic, and know for sure that there are mentions of "knowledge will increase," I believe in the End Times™, which sure, has "come to pass."

But this is less than an impressive "prophecy" of course, since it is simply the nature of any society, barring some kind of catastrophic even that would destroy such accumulated knowledge, that a society very naturally increases it's knowledge over time. It would be something like myself professing that decades from now, I will be older, and so long as I am still alive (and analogously, if that society's knowledge has not been catastrophically destroyed), "it shall come to pass," I assure you. It's not a prophecy, but a very simply prediction based on the very obvious facts of life.

And as far as the "weaker" element, I am sorry, but I do not recall reading such a verse, though it may very well be in there, yes. In fact, I would not be surprised. It is a common creationist misrepresentation to make that claim that we are degrading, that our recent ancestors were over a dozen feet tall, lives hundred or years, Noah himself living somewhere around 900...

But claims are just claims, when there is not one scrap of evidence to support them, after-all. Not to cause any offense, that is not my intention, but this is me honestly answering a question, with as much information that I can provide since the phrase seems not to exist in the Bible.

In summary.....

Yes, knowledge has increased, we have become "wiser" as societies and individuals thanks you education. But so has the sun set tonight should i have "prophesied" it this morning. It's a natural fact of society and life, that we learn more and more as we life, and as societies, we pass on that knowledge, thus extending the knowledge over generations just as I will know more in 10 years than I do now.

But no, the baseless claim that we are degrading as a species, or at least as a human species, is not in fact the case, and it has be proven time and time again, to the point of a very secure conclusion that we are neither becoming "stronger" nor are we becoming "weaker," since it is not about strength, but an overall compilation of traits that either benefit, are neutral to, or harm survival. In the case that such minor changes harm survival, it is eventually over generations "weeded out" in a process of natural selection, since a lesser ability to survive, is directly an eventually at least, lesser ability to pass on that harmful or less beneficial DNA. Just the same, a minor change which is very advantageous, could overcome even the neutral ones.

But LONG, LOOOOONG, very scientifically proven story short, we are not in fact becoming weaker, no. As far as our societies, well we have had bloody conflict and "not nice" goings on for all of recorded history, so while I would agree there is certainly SO much room for improvement, even as societies, we are pretty much "par for the course."

So as a last thought, my advice to you, and you are welcome to think about it or reject it without consideration.... Would be to not really worry about such a verse, since half of it is not unlike predicting a sunset when you wake up, and the other half of it has not happened, and seems to be a bit of a swing and a miss on the part of the writers of whichever book(s) of the Bible that sure, likely spoke of such a think.

I hope that helps a bit, even though I was unable to find any such phrase in the Bible, and I hope you have a great day!!
