"...I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use...." Galileo Galilei
Continuing my theme on 'mans wisdom', why does God give us sense, reason and intellect if not for the glory of God? He gave it to us at creation, but sin has also brought down these attributes of man, but God can still use them. Just like any other gift it can be used for good or evil, and if we allow God we can let these gifts of mans sense, reason and intellect be used as a blessing to others as the secrets of the universe are unvieled through biology, geneticists, archeology, technology, and medicine, and other sciences.
Who would have thought a 100 years ago we would have the "Hubble Telescope" in space, or computers to instantly communicate around the world, or we could eradicate some of the childhood diseases like smallpox or the ravages of the plaugue....
But when man turns from God, he can be used by evil and his sense, reason and intellect be twisted to exterminate much like the scientist under Hitler did against the Jews, or to kill the unborn, or destroy peoples minds with drugs and chemicals made in underground or illicit labs....
