    Re: Childlike Faith vs. Einstein

    Speculating what would occur to another person in any situation is usually valueless but, depending on location, children often question the purpose of footwear. "Why should I wear shoes?" one may ask, "I'm only going to jump in the mud!" Such questions arise in arid zones after a heavy downpour but never at all, I'd guess, in Siberia where it's minus ninety outside and rather warm by the fire spit roasting a bear's paw. Einstein was not Siberian so what information do we have on this point?

    The usual response would be: "Put on your shoes and don't jump in the mud," or for the physicist: "Buy a spare pair of stocks and cut your toenails," another activity often questioned by children as many of us will remember from our early years. But how many physicists spend time worrying about Heaven?

    People forget that Einstein was a child once and in many ways a product of the home school system. Everybody got sick of trying to get knowledge into his thick stubborn German skull and he had to study for his PhD all on his own with parental tutoring.

    Well he was right and The System was wrong on that count. He pulled some strings with the puppet masters and ended up with the Nobel Prize and a Professor job at Princeton, turning down in the interim a tempting offer from Oxford University of a 5-year studentship under the supervision of proper scientists.

    Once safely back in The System, he milked it for all it was worth and never produced a single day's work from then on. Reverting to type, as they always do.

    It's so sad, that God just wants to show us His love but so many false doctrines are being regurgitated—even elaborated upon—so that He is not feared, His commandments are not kept or in many cases made illegal (the first of the ten commandments for example) and the whole duty of man reassigned to something else altogether. From Democritus to Einstein via Archimedes and Newton it's been downhill all the way. Somewhere in between popes were invented but pontiffs were nothing new even then.
    Ecclesiastes 1:2-4 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity. What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun? One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.

    It saddens me to see how incorrigible the false advocates for "science" really are. Daniel knew that all true knowledge aligns in every way with God's description of the world He created for us to live in. But for centuries from Pythagoras and his triangles to Archimedes with the calculus they've kept banging away in direct opposition to God.

    Refusing to accept The Truth, eventually after two-and-a-half millennia they've talked their way into education and gotten people to not only listen but to make observations for themselves. Of course they tell you what you're going to see before you look at anything then, whatever you think you see, they tell you what it is even if it isn't.

    God has already explained so much and what He teaches us is easy to confirm. For example we know that gold becomes transparent when sufficiently pure but the science falsely so called contradicts that fact. There are many other facts which they'd deny too given half a chance and (as no doubt they hope) once uncorked their genie will be very difficult to put back in its bottle. They tried it before and from Pythagoras to Archimedes is about 300 years and Hero of Alexandria with his steam power and water clocks about another 300. That's about 600 years approx., after which they were shut down quite thoroughly. Now those ideas have been promoted again—but so far for somewhat less time—and once again unless they're shut down God's knowledge will be challenged.

    They've been unremitting in their pursuit of falsehoods, shrugging off all dissent and denying reality even to the point of death, but the one fact we can agree on is that if they are extinguished (again) God's way will reemerge very quickly indeed. For five hundred years they've toiled against Him but in a single generation He would be respected again.

    Ecclesiastes 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.






    However saddened we are at what they're trying to do,

    trying to do again,

    there nevertheless remains one simple encouragement.

    But what an encouragement it is!

    Childlike Faith vs. Einstein

    My children learned in their homeschool studies that space gas is called sulfur hexafluoride. Depending on the temperature, it could be gas that appears to be liquid, or it can crystalize with colder temperatures. As you go higher into the firmament (Genesis 1:6-8), or "space," the sulfur hexafluoride becomes crystals. It is solid.

    This proves what the Holy Bible says about the "sea of glass" near the Throne of the LORD (Revelation 4:6; 15:2).

    Proving once again, a childlike faith begets more knowledge than all the Einsteinian mumbo jumbo they teach in public schools and colleges. And really, what is more important to the soul of the child - to get into Harvard, or Heaven?
