What may seem right to man is folly to God...I am sure you will see that in the story below that those who believe man 'evolved' wouldn't evolution mean we get smarter too?
Here is the story that was in the local paper. Seems someone owned some property at a condominunm place along Houghton Lake. A run down shack was knocked down and then a new building erected on the site of the old building. (I have to only guess that this was a No-No in the eyes of the condo association as the owner of the new building was told to remove it.)
OK someone didn't seem wise enough to check on that before building the building. So now it has to be moved. Well, luckily, just a 1/4 mile down the road is a piece of property that the building was going to be moved to. Well, to move anything along the road requires permits, utility workers to move power lines, traffic lights, etc and police to direct traffic during the movement. A quarter mile is much better than a mile or many miles in moving a house...but...
It winter up here, the lake is frozen and we just had a long cold (arctic cold) keeping the lake frozen. Imagine...can we move the house that 1/4 mile...on the frozen lake? No Permits, no utility people to have to pay for, no police...
Here is a picture (sorry they are out of focus):

Yep, it is a house ON THE LAKE being pulled by a large digger (backhoe). I wouldn't drive a car on the ice....they have a backhow AND a house??? Ok so here is another picture:

The guy is sliding plywood sheets under the tires...I guess to help distribute the weight...oh yeah...all combined the weight was like 60,000 pounds!
Well, it takes more than a backhoe to slide a house along the ice...let's use another piece of equipment to help get it that mere 1/4 mile.
Let's use ..... a bulldozer!

This, as you see in the picture proved to be just too much for the ice and the tracks on the right side went through the ice.
The title of the newspaper article is: Almost Made It.
So how does one 'extract' a bulldozer from the ice...if it sinks there will be lots of people there like the Environmental Protection Agency, Fire/Rescue, News media and lots of laughing people.
Jas 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
I think he should have asked God for wisdom before performing this act of 'human intelligence'.
The fish just might have new 'structure' to swim around soon and something for fishermen to get their lines and boat anchors caught up in.

Or maybe by spring it will be a house boat! Did this all happen recently? Did they get the dozer out?
