Schweitzer and Example, Example, Example

"Adults teach children in three important ways:

The first is by example,
the second is by example,
the third is by example."

"Example is not the main thing in influencing others. It is the only thing."

Albert Schweitzer
French philosopher & physician (1875 - 1965)

Incapable of Comprehending!

JB's Favorite Einstein Quote

Physical concepts are free creations of the human mind, and are not, however it may seem, uniquely determined by the external world. In our endeavor to understand reality ...

we are somewhat like a man trying to understand the mechanism of a closed watch. 

He sees the face and the moving hands, even hears its ticking, but he has no way of opening the case. 

If he is ingenious he may form some picture of a mechanism which could be responsible for all the things he observes, but he may never be quite sure his picture is the only one which could explain his observations.

He will never be able to compare his picture with the real mechanism and he cannot even imagine the possibility or the meaning of such a comparison.

A simpler quote

 

All our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike - and yet it is the most precious thing we have.

 

Albert Einstein

 

I might edit his quote though, to say, …

 

All our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike - and yet it is one of the most precious things we have.

Direct quote from JB

I'm not saying there is no absolute truth, just that we don't fully understand that truth.  And it is surely to be wrestled with, just as we are here.  I think God knows that when we, as human beings, reach a point where we think we know the absolute truth (not the source of it, but the actual truth itself), we become dangerous, to ourselves, others, and creation itself.  ... Therefore it is simply our job to trust and have faith in Him.  We can discuss and debate our perceptions/models/understandings, and that's good.  But let's not destroy creation in the process.
