I think you and I might have been living on different planets.
My thought is that an overwhelming majority of people want to share what they believe is knowledge, or common sense, with anyone who can be backed into a corner, handcuffed to a table-leg, or runned over by an automobile and injured badly enough so they can't escape until an ambulance arrives.

The reason why good common sense and knowledge is not shared is thought to be generational.
In the past the generations mixed quite well.
How many teens have I met in the last one hundred years? None. Yet I am a mine of knowledge and common sense.
In cultures where young and old mix freely, such people learn and pass knowledge down through the generations, also lots of common sense.
Such is true of the Irish, but not true of the English.

Have you ever found yourself listening to a conversation and then becoming aware of how people don't actually listen, they just wait for a gap to tell their own story, to say their part?
A lot of people recognise this on a more subconcious level, and as a result feel that their is little point in telling someone somethign that will be ignored. Instead they save their breath and tell them a more interesting story.
Aside from that, knowledge is power and our fantastic world values power over just about anything.
My knowledge (coupled with their own) may allow someone to go and build some wonderful new invention that would result in them becoming rich and famous. Rather than be grateful for this advancement I would be angry that my part had not been acknowledged.
It's human nature to be competitive and petty.

In spite of the quotes, your question, "how can 'God' have made man in his [sic] own image," assumes the existence of God. Implicit in this assumption is the further assumption that God has the attributes associated with a god. At this point, you have answered your own question: God could have done this because He is a god. Of course, this is just amplification of the previously given answer: "If God is omnipotent could he not design the laws of physics such that a sentient empathic being was destined to evolve eventually?" This is a hypothesis as to HOW He did it, from your assumption that God exists.. However, there is no scientific evidence, from evolution or anywhere else, that supports the existence -- or nonexistence -- of God or gods. From a scientific standpoint, God, and gods, are a hypothesis; hypotheses must be reproducibly tested before they advance to fact or fiction. No one has ever designed an experiment that is capable of testing the "god hypothesis." Evolution does NOT say anything about creation other than it happened. It assumes creation from the theory that it must have occurred due to the fact that we are here; it says nothing about how it occurred; it only talks about what happened after creation. Some believe that the Big Bang Theory is a creation theory; it is not. The Big Bang assumes a singularity; what created the singularity? There is no scientific hypothesis for this that I am aware of and no way of testing any such hypothesis that may be proposed. This potentially brings us back to: God created the singularity as an (untestable) hypothesis.

People don't fear the sharing of knowledge, it is the differing of opinion and subsequent arguments that arise from the sharing of that knowledge that they may fear. Some people are unwilling to see another person's point of view, and will argue til their death to prove a point or change someone's mind. If people would accept another's opinion as simply that, it would be much easier.

Greetings:
Common Sense doesn't exist. Harry writes books written for the average person so it can be sold by the thousands, not for the knowledgeful sentient being.

If people were reluctant to share their knowledge and experiece this site would not exist. Man is a social animal and as such, feels the need to communicate. I'm sorry but I find the remainder of your message quite incomprehensible.

On the contrary people often give away advice that they need the most themselves.
For those that fear giving away what they 'know' unless it is business related, stuff em it wont be worth hearing anyway
The world is enriched by communication, not an insectoid like shrewdness with knowledge

I don't fear it.
That's why I am on here giving my opinion every time I get the chance.
I want people to hear what I have to say because it is what I believe to be the truth.
And I figure since I am as old as I am, I have some common sense.

If there is anything to the adage survival of the fittest, then it would seem that common sense would be the least shared knowledge.
