[TheRealThing]

As long as I am here, TRT, I am the target of RV's wrath. When I am away for a few days, he moves on to a new target. It's nothing personal - he is angry at the world. :biggrin:

My belief is that only one thing can make one happy in this life. At some point, every man who has realized his zenith in this world, has to face his own demons. Sooner or later the rat race ends, the kids move out (that one hurt) and you are left with yourself and what you believe. For some, there's comfort in their Savior. The problem is this, the wisdom of man, though incredible and as yet unfulfilled, doesn't satisfy. Nor does financial security. Once the chase is over, whether due to one's age or the realization of wealth, what's left? Lunch? Further, I believe God will allow man to reach only so high with his accomplishments.

The scripture I think about with regard to that is Genesis 11:5-9 (KJV)


5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.


We don't have any speech barriers in our time. We instead have suprecomputers which interface so much information so fast, we can't even articulate it in terms. Knowledge used to double every so often as follows; Right now and over the past 100 years it doubles twice as fast each time. So from 1900 it doubled by 1920, 1920-1930,1930-1935, and so on, (Wiki) These days it happens so fast we don't even have a handle on how long it takes anymore.

The point is this, if man can indeed accomplish anything he can imagine, how much more knowledge can we really master and still remain master over our own knowledge?
