The things of God which can be known are clearly seen from the things He has made. As some wise men said, to study nature is to study the works of God and understand his design.

1 Cor 3:18 If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool that he may be wise. Or to put it another way, " If you think you already know everything, then it would be impossible to learn anything new."

Luke 1:53 " He has filled the hungry with good things," Think about it.... the ones who are already full, who think they already know it all, how can they receive any more, ?

Prov 3:5
Mark 10:15 ... the force of this amounts to ...you must receive the kingdom of God as a little child

1 Cor 8:2 If any man think he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know.

Romans 12:16 ...be not wise in your own conceits

Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made...

A quotation from Dr. Royal Lee, Dentist and inventor

The history of mechanical transportation is another conspicuous example of the inability of man to recognize the marvelous gifts of Science when first presented. Steam stage-coaches were built in 1827-30 in London that were remarkably successful. One design, that was used to make regular daily trips of sixty miles over cobble-stone roads, had a top speed of thirty-five miles an hour, carried twenty passengers, and made a total of fifteen thousand miles in about a year. This performance aroused great activity in the construction of such vehicles, but was brought to an end by an act of the Parliament, which, indignant over the explosion of the boiler of one of the machines, killing three people, passed the celebrated law limiting the speed of self-propelled vehicles on public highways to five miles per hour, and which law remained in force until 1898. Now, pneumatic leather tires with rubber inner tubes were patented by a Londoner in 1845, and tested on the horse-drawn buses of that time, which did not need them because of the low speed. It is very evident that we would have had very successful motor vehicles on all the highways of the world before the Civil War if it had not been for the appalling ignorance of the "learned" majority of Parliament.

And we might mention the fact that it took the French medical societies twenty years to accept the discoveries of Pasteur. And before that Semmelweiss in Vienna (1846) discovered that if the examining physician in a hospital washed his hands in chlorine-water before each examination the mortality (from puerperal septicemia) dropped from 11 per cent down to one per cent. Semmelweiss was so ridiculed for his contentions that he finally lost his mind, dying in a lunatic asylum.

Just why is all this? It seems that the average educated (?) man, has neither the ability nor the inclination to appraise the merit of anything new
