I found in my life that people with PhDs are the most myopic and self centered people. They seem to believe that since they know more about a small sliver of knowledge that they must know more about everything.

A PhD confers a god-like arrogance to many. They then endorse evil as their guiding principle.

It was not the Tree of Life that tempted Adam and Eve but the Tree of Knowledge. And so from the beginning knowledge apart from God and a humble soul has resulted in self-exaltation. We see this condition all round us today.

When I read the above this morning, I thought for a moment I had arisen in the night, come to my computer and posted it in my sleep. That’s because I’ve contended exactly the same thing for at least 40 years! Not all axioms are indisputably true, but in my view that is certainly one of them.
