If you were God, and I believe there is only one, How would You keep all of human civilization form working towards their collective future?

The bible says there are many gods. Satan is the god of this world. He uses diseases, natural disasters, and neighbors to make life difficult for people who fall into his power. The God of creation gives people choices and then tells us which choice is best. Every human is also a god.
It is not reliable to let people tell you what the bible says. Many people will make up stuff because they don't know what it says, and many will make up stuff because they wish it would not say what it says. You just have to read it for yourself. Read a chapter of Proverbs every day. Proverbs has 31 chapters so you can keep your place by just looking at a calendar. There is no religion or nothing in Proverbs and you don't have to believe anything. Just read to find wisdom. When you are comfortable with that, then read the bible from Romans to 2 Thessalonians over and over until you start to remember what it says. That is the part that applies to Christians. Here is a book to help you to understand the bible. It's a free download and you can get a hard copy at any bible book store.
