Japan, China, and India are absent from these observations since the comparisons are between Protestant, Catholic, and Islam for religion and economics and between Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish on the Supreme Court.

Gallup gross median household income

In 2013, Gallup published a list of countries with median household income, based on a self-reported survey of approximately 1000 adults from each country.^[1] Using median, rather than mean income, results in a much more accurate picture of the typical income of the middle class since the data will not be skewed by gains and abnormalities in the extreme ends. The figures are in international dollars using purchasing power parity and are based on responses from at least 2,000 adults in each country, with the data aggregated from 2006 to 2012. Below is a list of the top 30 countries. The figures do not take taxes and social contributions into account.

* USA income - Other sources claim that median household money income during the 2006-2012 period averaged $53,836, therefore by comparison the Gallup result is underreported and is even below the Census' own figures.A study on the Census income data claims that when correcting for underreporting, U.S. gross median household income was $58,997 between 2006 and 2010.

So it looks like the Protestants are the clear economic winners. And the Catholics aren't too far behind. Seems like the Jews and Islam is significantlying behind. The Asians seem to make the most money though, but compared to the charts, Christianity tops out on earnings.

The chart you may be referring to is one for people that live in the US. Asian's prosper in the US, but those is SE Asia are much poorer.

If you read the writing at the bottom of that chart you will see it is data from a US census.

Looking at this chart I can see that most nations of Islam are close to 100% Islam. That is because in these nations it is against the law to practice any other religion other than Islam. The exceptions are nations that were made into one that were an area of Islam that was put with an area that another religion was predominate. In those nations there is constant Jihad being waged against the non Islam apart of that nation.

This is why Nigeria is constantly in the news where Islamic jihadist are waging terror against the non Islam part of the nation.

Also if we look at the nations that are predominately Islam we see that these are the nations that are in constant war and strife.

What are your thoughts ?

Golden Age of Islam and the Supreme Court Justices

The Golden Age of Islam was from the 8th century (758) to the 13th century (1258). Islam made academic and artistic advancements while the Christian nations were in the Dark Ages. The crusades ended with a Moslem victory. The Moslem conquest continues to instill the Islamic religious preference for all but Spain and Israel. Why did Islam sink into its own continuing dark age? Today, nearly every dominantly Moslem country is in a dark age. Are the situations in these countries because of Islam, because of economics, or historical events?

Without there being any reasonable question, the western world eventually benefited from a biblical worldview which gave rise to the Protestant Reformation and the growth of science in the west. However, other influences might be considered.

Arable land has something to do with advancement. Areas with small patches of arable land seemed to depend more on human labor and to be rather late in developing and using technological advancements. This is due to the economics and resources of the number of people required to grow a given amount of food. A world map of arable lands shows the United States with the largest percentage of the Earth’s cultivated land (nearly 10%) with much of it being the greatest concentration of arable land in the world. Once the importance of arable land is realized, it is startling to see a color coded wall map where arable land is represented. No other country is near to rivaling the United States. America’s bread basket and the associated farming technology have enabled the diversion of resources for other purposes. The entire planet has benefited from America’s bread basket – and continues to do so – not just for food but the diverted resources benefiting all mankind. The down side is that more and more of the diverted resources are for evil.

Arable land statistics by country – edited and rounded from this site:

Islam Iran 1.3 Asia (Middle East)
Islam Pakistan 1.1 Asia (Middle East)
All the other nations each have less than 1% of the Earth’s arable lands (about 40%).


Percent of Arable Lands by Region

Percents are taken from the above chart and do not include counties with less than 1% of the Earth’s arable lands. Therefore, the chart only accounts for about 60% of the arable lands.
New world arable lands 22.5%;
European arable lands 9.3% with most of it (7%) in European Russia and some in Asian Russia;
Asian arable lands 22.8%;
African arable lands 2%.
When every country is included, even those with less than 1% arable lands, the trends are approximately the same.

Percent of Arable Lands by Religion

18.0% Hindu and Tao (The arable lands are not nearly as concentrated as in America and are generally small farms.)

14.7% to 17.4 % Protestant Christian - *Canada is only slightly more Catholic than Protestant. Most of the arable land is concentrated in a region of Protestant Ontario (concentrated as it is in the USA). On the other hand, it is Quebec and small portions of Nova Scotia which are predominately Catholic. Considering this, 17.4% of the earth’s arable land could be said to be occupied by Protestant peoples or nations.

12.4% Catholic Christian – includes Canada. Without Canada it is 9.4%.

9.0% Orthodox Christian

5.7% Islam and 2% of this is in tropical Indonesia and not the Near East.

Conclusions:

Ancient Egypt’s millennial long success was dependent upon the cultivation of the lands along the Nile River. Considering the opposite possibility, was Islam eventually stymied as much or more by the amount and diffusion of arable land as by its religion and the power of the west? Maybe?

Of interest to believers is how divine superintendence controlled who settled Earth’s arable lands. If you were serious about world and American history you know this story. The people of a particular Christian faith ended up with the best of Earth’s arable lands. People of the Catholic Christian religion did not settle in as fertile lands. My belief is that this is not a coincidence! Will the next “not a coincidence” be the climate change which determines who has the best arable land in the future?

Supposition:

If the distribution of Earth’s arable lands is evidence of divine superintendence, should it concern us that the make up of the Supreme Court of the United States of America has changed in this generation not to include a Protestant Christian? Could the religion of the Supreme Court justices be like it was when God determined who ended up without as much arable lands and who ended up with the best lands? See site:

http://religionnews.com/2016/03/16/history-of-religion-on-supreme-court-in-one-graph/

However, even if I cannot see what the angels see, whatever comes, I believe in the divine superintendence of such things. Although, not all of the divine guidance is a blessing on the land (or nation) which I live - sometimes it is divine wrath.

Some excellent and scary thoughts for sure. God certainly controls history, wether people see it or not. The United States may be in for some serious judgement going foward. Even if Trump does something positive, we have a half nation or more of fools ready to dismantle it.

How true Tom, but we must all remember that God and ONE man is a majority against the whole world. God does not need numbers to deliver us from evil. We must all keep confessing our sins and keep asking The Lord to deliver us from evil.

Here is another email about this subject from Glen:

Thanks. Hope it helps people think and understand.

Divine superintendence (or sovereignty) simply means God is in control of who occupies the best land and who serves on the Supreme Court.
When I state there aren’t any coincidences in my life it is not about me being important for I am expendable - just as were each of the apostles. Divine justification and redemption is not about me; it is not that God loves me because of me; but it is about the nature and glory of a loving God - just as is justification and redemption. I am a sinner, unholy and untouchable by God except by his act of salvation of washing me guiltless in the blood.

Divine superintendence controls every outcome. When Judah was carried away to Babylon both the idol worshipers and the remnant believers ended up as captives - including Daniel, Ezekiel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego - all experienced the wrath upon Judah. When Jacob’s descendants were led out of bondage in Egypt both the evil and the believers were rescued. However, how many made it to the Promised Land? The wrath of God fell upon all of them. If I had been one of those who died in the Sinai wilderness or on the march to Babylon, what would been my response to God?

Divine blessing falls upon the justified and the unjustified. Divine wrath falls upon the justified and the unjustified. We live in a land of violence and sexual perversion. The wrath of God has come upon America, the justified and the unjustified, as he has given us up to our perverse natures. The change in our supreme court is about our sin - perverse natures. The choices we have for president is about our sin - perverse natures. Once upon a time the faithful received the most abundant bread basket in the entire world. Now will climate change take that away?

Just as there are not any coincidences in my unimportant, little life (or that of a sparrow), neither are there any coincidences in the past history or future of America. With the eyes of angels one might see the divine superintendence determines all outcomes. Such a perspective is easy when experiencing blessings, but divine wrath reminds us of what we are and from what we have been saved.
