Quote of the Day: Truth vs. Knowledge - Ricochet.com

“Truth is eternal. Knowledge is changeable. It is disastrous to confuse them.”
Madeleine L’Engle, An Acceptable Time

If there were one thing I wish I had grasped earlier, this would be it.

For all our scientific discoveries of late, think of the brilliance of Galileo, Michelangelo, Pasteur—they believed many things we now see differently. Will we always?

Will the great Climate Change debate go differently than the spontaneous generation of flies and maggots on raw beef?

Will George Washington, John Adams, or Thomas Jefferson be thought of differently than they are now? I graduated from high school in 1976. Jefferson was revered. Today, not so much. Adams was all the rage after David McCullough’s biography. Washington comes and goes in greatness. Yet without them, singly or together, our nation would have been much different.
