that took place 250 years ago
What? My secular history books in both Elementary, Secondary and college, and my church teaching all stated without question that the Age of Enlightenment started with the Guttenberg Bible in 1455, which is 470 years ago.
Prior to the Guttenberg Bible, most everyone depended on the “educated” clergy for knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge and wisdom came by authority.
With mass production of the Bible, everyone could read and interpret it for themselves. The printing press made possible the printing of many books, pamphlets, etc. The printing press created the age of enlightenment.
Many now saw that the screen you and I are now looking at created the age of gullibility... no longer seeking the truth .... but seeking the celebrity, the popular, the puff piece.
“ age of gullibility... no longer seeking the truth .... but seeking the celebrity, the popular, the puff piece.”
Exactly correct
