The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9).
But every minute a new baby is born. There are new inventions. There was no computers during Solomon's time. So was the Bible wrong?
Ever since God completed His work of creation in six days, everything that can be done is done. Unlike Microsoft, which have Service Pack 1 and Service Pack 2 and other patches, our world is always World 1.0 from beginning. No patches. If the people of Solomon's days had the same knowledge as we have, they can build computers like ours. The rules of science and the material needed is the same in Solomon's time and our time. Every new baby is made out of the same process as Cain and Abel. There is nothing new since then.
Everything that happens was decided long ago. We humans know what we are like, and we can't argue with God, because he is too strong for us (Ecclesiastes 6:10). Whatever God does is final. Nothing can be added to it or taken from it. God’s purpose is that people should fear him. What is happening now has happened before, and what will happen in the future has happened before, because God makes the same things happen over and over again. (Ecclesiastes 3:14-15).
