Who had the best academic education in general: Paul of Tarsus, Charles Darwin, or George Washington?

Answer 1

Chuck did. Georgie comes in second. Tarsus Boy comes in a distant third.

Answer 2

According to Acts 22:3, Paul of Tarsus studied in Jerusalem under the Rabbi Gamaliel, well known in Paul's time. According to Acts 18:3, he worked as a tentmaker.

Little is known of George Washington's early childhood. He attended school irregularly from his seventh to his 15th year. He was fairly well trained in practical mathematics--gauging, several types of mensuration, and such trigonometry as was useful in surveying. He studied geography, possibly had a little Latin, and certainly read some of the English classics. His best training, however, was given him by practical men and outdoor occupations, not by books. He mastered tobacco growing and stock raising, and early in his teens he was sufficiently familiar with surveying to plot the fields about him. He was educated to become a planter and worked some time as a surveyor.

Charles Darwin studied first medicine at the University of Edinburgh, then theology at Christ's College, Cambridge. He performed well in theology and passed classics, mathematics and physics. Meanwhile he worked with some of the most outstanding naturalists of the day. His five-year voyage on the Beagle established him as an excellent geologist. When the Beagle returned in 1836, Darwin was a celebrity in scientific circles. In 1837 Darwin was elected to the Council of the Geographical Society and became it's Secretary later on. He received many scientific awards.

Conclusion : when it comes to academic education, Darwin has by *far* the best resume.

Answer 3

Paul of Tarsus because God was his Teacher. Then George Washington because he was a Great Leader that was a Christian, who helped bring God's favor upon our Great Country. As far as Charles Darwin goes, he was influenced by the demonic forces who are torturing him right now at this very moment.

Answer 4

I dont know for sure. But both Washington and Darwin would have to struggle to get their minds around Paul’s thoughts just like the rest of us.

Answer 5

I've got them all beat. But that doesn't mean I'm as smart than they were. It's just that we know so much more now than we did then that you really can't study anything without first spending 10 years finding out what we know already.

Answer 6

Probably Darwin or Washington. Darwin especially was a genius. Washington was also smart. He might have graduated from West Point.
Paul was a tentmaker. He might have had only enough education to write his letters. I don't think that he was "college-educated."

Answer 7

Education is worth diddly squat without wisdom.

Answer 8

Wow, that's a pretty subjective question.

I am not knowledgeable enough to even take a guess--
Curious to see what others say...

Answer 9

it's a meaningless question, they didn't really have institutions of higher learning 2000 years ago, the question is moot

Answer 10

Darwin.
