Be Right VII

Those who trust in him will understand truth . . . 

 - From Wisdom of Solomon 3

I don't see how someone can be wise and proud at the same time. Like Scientists, with their lists of degrees, certifications, and accomplishments - soon they become enamored of their own intelligence, that they cannot conceive of there being knowledge beyond their capabilities. 

In our times, we toss around the world "Science" quite a lot. The snarky comment attached to many "scientific" articles in support of one political view or the other - "Because Science," is intended as a BAM! type of note that should end debate.

How can you argue with Science? Isn't Science all about facts?

And yet Scientists were wrong about the alignment of the planets, about racism and slavery, about the cause of disease. Science is only as accurate as the most recent understanding of something. 

Surely, our Science today will be treated as narrowly misguided, a thousand years from now. 

And Scientific research done at the bidding of a political party is the worst yet. 

We don't know it all. If Science is the acceptance of reality, then the most Scientific people of all are the Community of Faith. When your Science is framed by an allowance that we will never have all the information (but Someone does), then you are ready to advance to Scientific discovery that matters.

Be Humble. Be Real. Be Right.
