And considering the short speck of time this body of mine has on this earth, I'm not too worried about what it's doing. There's not a damn thing I can do about it anyway. Only God can. As he says:

""I shall destroy the wisdom of the wise and bring to nothing all the learning of the learned." 1 Cor.1:19

""The wisdom of its sages shall decay, the intelligence of its intelligent men shall be shrouded." (Is.29:14).

Seems to be decaying a lot these days

"Make no mistake about it: if any one of you thinks of himself as wise...then he must learn to be a fool before he can be wise. Why? Because the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God."

(1 Cor.3:18).

'Truth', said Jesus, is the word of God -- the Gospel of His Father.

So then accept that you don't know what you're talking about, have no interest in finding out, and are willing to leave science -- and the business of educating children -- to people who do.

Good quotes, showing the Biblical caution against presumed wisdom, and asserting that relatively, it is nothing (”foolishness”) compared to God.

A modern scientists says the same thing: almost all will tell you that the more they learn, the more amazed they are at what we do not know. Only non-scientists imagine that scientists know almost everything. The really foolish are those who think that all problems are soluble. They can often be heard to make such statements as, “We got to the moon, so surely we can [insert favorite problem here].”
