There is a big error in a lot of these arguments that intelligence is everything. You're right; character is more important. When someone dies, are people more likely to remember how smart someone was or what a good person they were? What good is intelligence without morals, ethics, or integrity? What would this world be without someone who is willing to do the menial jobs? For example, I really appreciate our trash collectors. If it weren't for them being out in all kinds of weather, we'd have all kinds of problems with rats and disease. While medical science can cure a lot, trash collectors can prevent a lot. Which is more important?

Your words here reflect what Booker T. Washington said with, "Cast down your bucket where you are." Very good, metmom. I completely agree.

Great points. I have a little ditty that sums up the issues.

I love science for it is entertaining and occasionally helpful. However, the knowledge attained by science will never be worthy of worship for it is limited to amorality. Science is really about sharing our discoveries with one another and determining how God intended us to bless others with the attained knowledge.

God became a man so that we could properly relate to Him. The resurrection authenticated Christ's claim as our Creator.

Rom 1:4 And declared [to be] the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

Jhn 1:1-3
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
