I'm in the medical field...

The more I know the more I discover how little we actually know.

With each layer peeled back there is another layer of complexity...

So I hear. With cell motility, what moves the cell? On any given level of observation, we are continually led on to another anterior cause.

"The more I know the more I discover how little we actually know. "

Profound truth, indeed!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I recently ran across my senior-year [1955, if you must ask... <grin>] high school yearbook, and found this recorded for posterity as my "Philosophy of Life":

"As man increases the radius
of the circle of his knowledge,
he expands by a factor of 2Pi
the circumference upon which
he touches his ignorance..."

As a physical scientist, who never tires of the thrill of discovery, I have often reveled in that relationship as "the joy of scientific exploration".

As a Christian, with personal, experiential knowledge of God the Creator, I observe that far too many of my brethren -- at the very deepest core of their belief systems -- fear that selfsame relationship as "the sin of reaching for too much worldly knowledge".

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And, it is that profound diffence in viewpoints, I despair, that fuels many of these "CREVO" threads...
