So this Jeremiah believes man needs a God. And their evidence is ?
Lots have things have helped solved man’s problems. But there is a vast number of things to tackle and a dynamic situation where one can expect to be continually needing to revise what is needed.
As for a God taking over, if they existed and had wanted to surely they would have done so long ago.

Old_Geezer@ One of encouragement derived from understanding the time feature concerning prophecy had to do with the time.
Today,This good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come. Mark 13:10 Has this prophecy been fulfilled? Indeed, it has, to date 5000 a day.

goodlife is being rather selective here. As so often, alas.
That passage goes on to read :
" . . . men will hand over their own brothers to be put to death, fathers will do the same to their children. Children will turn against their parents and have them put to death "
So that's what you get when the gospel is preached to all nations. Civil war, carnage, massacres. For my part, although my little world isn't perfect, I can do without the bloodshed, thanks. At least nobody ever killed anyone purely to prove there wasn't a god.

Goodlife - "... with all the sophisticated sciences and inventions have been used to try to help. But nothing has solved man’s problems..."
That is a rather disingenuous statement. How old are you Goodlife? Because if you're over the age of approximately 25 then man-made modern technology and man-made civilization has enabled you to be still kicking around, typing on your man-made computer keyboard, speaking to the world on the man-made internet using man-made electricity, etc.
Life expectancy in prehistoric times was about 26 years old. So I would have long since expired if I were wearing a loincloth and hunting mammoth. In the middle ages it had risen to 30 (at birth) and rose again to the dizzying heights of 64 (max) if you made it through puberty and into your twenties.
Take a look this Wikipedia page:

Even the dullest of intelligences can easily see that man-made technologically developed nations fair far better in the life expectancy stakes than those nations that are poor with little in the way of modern infrastructure.
Your above statement is deliberately misleading and overly simplistic. Has modern science solved all of man's problems? No. Has it solved a great deal? Yes it has. Has modern science eased the suffering of countless people on the planet who would have otherwise died in agonising pain regardless of how religious they were? Yes. Is modern science perfect? No.
What you should be asking yourself is: what has religion done to solve man's problems?

Birdie@
I think you must have misinterpreted what GL was implying.
I would suggest that perhaps he is referring to the fact that for all man's inventions and scientific knowledge, war is still rampant throughout the earth, people are still starving and dying from malnutrition. Disease is ongoing, previously eradicated diseases are now making a comeback and regardless of the fact that our life expectancy has increased and continues to increase, we still die.
Man's inventions, albeit to the good in the main part, they have also contributed to much of the world's problems.
