The Design of the Universe and Intelligent Design

Whatever your thoughts about this subject, this is important to watch and learn if Christians are to have the "conversation" with those out there who believe science provides all of the answers.

Thomas Jefferson

A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

Second Amendment of the U.S.A. Constitution

-William Pitt, 1783

KNOWLEDGE AND THOSE WHO WIELD IT

All Knowledge Is On The Whole A Composition.

It Has No Beginning Nor And End.

Its existence can only be useful in the present

Not In The Past Nor The Future.

Knowledge Works Best For The Discerning

If There Is Anything That We Have To Be Cautious About

It Is Knowledge...

If There Is Anything That We Have To Protect

It Is Knowledge...


Knowledge Is Always A Crucible

That Attempts To Shape Our Reality

A Composition Made Up Of A Collected Body Of Knowledge

Is Always Constructed

By The Preconception and Context Of Those Who Wield It.

Raw Knowledge In It's Various Compositions

Are Never And Always To Be Mistaken Automatically

For Truth - That Is The Role For Wisdom
