I'm sure there are lots of theories as to why things are the way they are.

This is the one that makes the most sense to me:

"as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind"

Rom 1:28

In my opinion, this level of absurdity we are seeing has only happened once before in human history.

As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.

Matt 24:37

And the only solution?

Come, Lord Jesus!

Rev 22:20
