So uncle Al, are educated fools a by product of science?

Question

Based on science knows whats going on.

Answer 1

This question is addressed to "Uncle Al"; my name isn't Al but I am an uncle. The reason I want to answer it is that I don't know what an 'educated fool" is. You mentioned they may be a by product of science and science to me (I am a scientist) is not something that can produce a product but a method of exploring and explaining what that exploration finds.

I don't believe there are any fools because everyone starts out as a baby with a God given curiosity and sets out to explore the planet by crawling and crying. Some get this curiosity "beaten out of them" by the vicissitudes of life but they are not fools. They often have a satisfying explanation for their lives. Others go on exploring by other means than crawling and crying because they have not yet found an explanation for their lives.They are not fools either unless an infant is also a fool because he/she is curious.

As I said I am a scientist but have had "religious experiences"; at times I envy those faith filled people who no longer have the need to know but none of them has been able to explain adequately to me how God is revealed to them in such a way he/she is completely satisfied He is God.

Explain to me what an educated fool is.

Peace and Love!
