Yes i do believe knowledge is power because the knowledge that people gain can be used in many ways. To create knew was to save lives, to save the earth from global warming and to create ways to make people live longer. Though knowledge alone is just not enough. You most have reasoning, judgement and common sense when knowledge is used. Think if you and another is working hard to both become a scientist for a company. You both can't be one because there is only one opening and the best will get it. You know how to do really difficult math like rocket science and the other person can only due the basics of algebra. Sense you have the most knowledge it got you a job. Knowledge gets you almost everything.

Yes, I believe knowledge is power. Even better when it is applied.
As with all knowledge it is how you put it use. As my mother would say with knowledge come wisdom. We are never to old to learn something new, or to pass our knowledge to others.

It depends how you use it.
Knowledge can show people beauty, style and all sorts of things that would be worth knowing.
I think it is a true thing in life that people should not stop learning and growing.
I wise man would try to use his knowledge for the common good

yes,Jesus said my people die from lack of knowledge knowing the kingdom(His way of doing things) of God......without the knowledge we would not know how to overcome satan since we are the ambassadors in His kingdom we have to rely on Gods word(the bible)we need all the knowledge to have the power

That's tricky...I sometimes wish that science would slow down. I worry about things like cloning, out of control abortions, and it seems that everywhere I turn they are recalling a new medication because of the problems it has caused. Modern technology is so great and yet, it holds us back as well. Scientists have supposedly "disproven" the theory of "Creation"...and so many people have clung to that instead of their faith. We have to remember though, that at one time, scientists "knew" the world was flat...

No I do not. Power comes out of the barrel of a gun, might is always right. I don't approve of this but I do accept it as fact. Knowledge is the state of being aware of what is so.

Knowledge is power, but wisdom trumps all.

Yes.
Knowing makes us efficient and effective.
The power part comes into play as we organize ourselves into groups of people who seek to learn and apply ideas to achieve desired goals.
Sound cryptic ? Just apply the idea to any group of people throughout history.
