• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Does Wisdom Equal Intelligence?

Thread ''Do Science Worship Human Nature'', post #406...

This??? LOL

0 evidence?!!... Are you for real?!!... What's the brand that's the major player in the sports industry? Nike. Why is that? Because it's American, internationalistic. What's the meaning of the letter ''I'' in the intenational scientific organizations? ''International'', obviously. Why do scientific people wear Nike? Because they are swept by the fact that they know where that word comes from and what it denotes: it denotes internationalism. Internationalism was invented in ancient Greece, the cradle of science. Why was ancient Greece the cradle of science? Because of their belief of the supreme God being the Wisdom, the Thought. Play stupid, but it isn't bringing you any good.

Provide what you consider the definition of both "wisdom" and "intelligence" and I will let you know.
A "wise man" asking for a definition of "wisdom" is like a numismatist asking for the definition of "coin."

No it hasn't.

You saying a thing or referencing the Smurfs does not make a thing.

Stop with what you are doing, undermining the clear yet indirect proof that scientists worship human nature.

I go by the tried and tested Dungeons & Dragons illustration: your intelligence would tell you that precipitating from the sky is called 'rain'. Your wisdom would tell you to get to shelter.

That has served me well for the best part of 32 years.

Unless you're a half-orc in which case it would be "shower" and "to go outside".

No intelligence doesn't equal wisdom. Wisdom may equal intelligence though. Wisdom is taught in the scriptures.


This scripture guides me lately, as i try to conform to it.

Proverbs 17:27 He who has knowledge spares his words,
And a man of understanding is of a calm spirit.

28 Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace;
When he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive.


James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.
