I believe in angels all right. But they bear a heavy burden; their job is not to change the world and they have the power to do so, but if they do they take away from the free will of humans. Can they see into the future? A little; enough to do their job. But every time they share those visions they affect lives who already have futures and will be changed. So an angel might tell me that tomorrow an old tower will topple and then the next day the Tower Of Pisa or the Eifeltower or such falls over, and the only effect it is meant to have is for me to gain an iron cast belief in angels. Unless I go on a dozen online forums that night and say it will happen, and then I will get instant cred as a futuresayer and an extreme amount of attention that might crush me. To be an angel is to see the consequences of what they do and so they must be very careful with every word, every action.
