This reminded me of the same kind of thinking that the early explorers faced...Magellan, and others who were told that they would fall off the edge of the earth, because it was flat, not round....it took faith, determination, and a belief beyond themselves and their environment, to show the whole world at that time, that the collective thought was wrong! Many in that era of time, even some who went against political and religious "correctness" were publically scathed and even jailed for their "thinking"....which in the the end, proved to be THE TRUTH. It takes alot more faith in something when that faith is tried....than just following the lemmings in blind belief. We have learned in our mere existance here on Earth, that: the Earth is not the center of the solar system; it is not flat; it is not stationary; that there are flora and fauna yet to be discovered; that Darwin only proposed a theory, not a fact, and recanted that theory...meaning he proved himself wrong! that many of the greatest scientific minds of all generations had personal belief in God....Leonardo DaVinci, Einstein, Galileo...to name a few.
If they, with their incredible intelligence and view to the future could embrace a Power greater than themselves, why should it be so difficult for an average person? Does the average, politically correct person know more than say, Einstein? Sometimes a little knowledge IS a dangerous thing!
