Did you really think Christians thought God was silly enough not to bring in the promised new heavens? Why would He run around trying to prop up a temporal state? Makes no sense. If God isn't silly, why did he let it start dying in the first place?
Not sure if you are referring to the fall of man, or later, when our lives were shortened. I do not assume God is stupid (though the Bible shows he clearly doesn't know what he is doing).
Let me get this straight, then. He isn't quite stupid, but He really doesn't know what He is doing. Ok, your opinion is noted.

Yep, for two thousand years they've been waiting for his triumphal return. 'Cept it hasn't happened yet. Why do you think that is, exactly?
Things that make me go hmmmmmmmm. |

Easy. To every thing there is a time. A time to be born, a time to die, a time to rise again, and a time to come again. People waited a long time sacrificing lambs till the Lamb of God arrived. Before Jesus returns, some things had to play out.

Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
KJV

I asked Jesus "How much do you love me?" He answered "This much". Then He stretched out His arms and died for me.
If you have everything but Jesus, you have nothing. If you have nothing but Jesus, you have everything.
Have you given much thought to where you are going to spend eternity? |

Good verses. Funny, just yesterday or within a few days, I was thinking of the same verse. The way I was applying it (some verses have a funny way of being able to apply to a few things) was to creation!
Where we read the 'fathers' as Adam, and those near the beginning, possibly even up to the flood or so. They used to live over 9 centuries. Now, so called science does exactly that. It assumes that all things are the same since then!!! Well, for the non Christian ones, that reject the bible and God altogether, they imagine that time of creation of the universe was near the big bang. So it applies to them.
" Uniformitarianism, in the philosophy of science, assumes that the same natural laws and processes that operate in the universe now, have always operated in the universe in the past and apply everywhere in the universe. Its methodology is frequently summarized as "the present is the key to the past," because it holds that all things continue as they were from the beginning of the world." Uniformitarianism (science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kinda spooky, even the wording and language is the same!!!!!
