Caffeinated Thought of the Day: The Starting Point of Knowledge

The Thinker by Auguste Rodin

I’m often amazed at people who are utterly dogmatic about things like Climate Change or evolution, but yet also insist that absolute truth doesn’t exist or can’t be known. They elevate “science” to a ridiculously high level, enthusiastically and blindly accepting whatever science is said to have established.

Two things occur to me here: First, absolute truth both exists and can be known. You’ll find it in the Scriptures. Second, everything man thinks he knows, everything he thinks he has learned, will be skewed if the starting point for that knowledge is not God. Proverbs 1:7 says this: The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
