YES! Without a doubt knowledge is power. No God, no knowledge. Know God, know knowledge.

Yes! definitely is ones power! However...only if you know the "truth". of the knowledge you have. Many people with much knowledge can't express themselves to the common individual. ( like me trying to explain this to you) Like a 12 volt battery powering a cell phone...It will blow up! you need a"special" battery to power it. This is confusing...but I think you get the drift. Knowledge is power but only as good as how you harness it!

No. Knowledge is nothing more than an accumulation of facts and information; if that is all one posesses, he may as well be a computer. True power lies in wisdom, which is knowing how all the myriad data in one's head connect together and how one might use it all to make good choices.

Well... It is not the ONLY thing but it sure helps.....I think Francis Bacon knew that when he quoted it.. or rather when he said it.. But.. due to limited space here, can not go into the pitfalls both PRO and against this(that is there are downfalls to knowledge being force)

Knowledge is only power if what you know is the truth.

NO! Look at liberals! They have no knowledge whatever, and they still have political power. I think that fraudulence is power, not knowledge.

It will be until the researchers manage to hook us all up to brain scans that tell them what our reactions to certain events will be and until they decide how to implant our military servicemen with chips that will require them to do things they wouldn't normally do. Knowledge is power, but if you don't keep up with the research and developments, you won't know how to combat these invaders!

It can be, but it's not guaranteed to bring one power, nor is it the only way to power. Money can, influence and charisma can, having the right parents can (just look at the English royals); brutality can, too - look at Idi Amin.

Not at all.
Power is the ability to do work.
Too many people with lots of knowlege never work a day in their lives.
