Information Overload?

We live in an era of information overload. With the advent of the internet, satellite TV, cell phones and a multiplicity of other modern hi-tech devises we are influenced or stimulated to act or react to information almost immediately. Care must be taken to weigh the data we are given with some standard that is consistent, reliable, and dependable.

It is critical that we don’t consider everything we read or hear is the absolute truth. The simplistic answer often lies within us. Too many have allowed those truth senses to lie dormant or suppressed. The suppression is dangerous because it permits changes to the norm or obscures the correct conclusion.

Instantaneous information is a useful byte in some instances. There is a serious need for discernment of truth. That may well be the doubt that surfaces and brings to question the validity of a discovery, person, or event.

Will science ever find the missing link? Will they ever scientifically establish the origin of man? Probably not, our rules of scientific proof fail time and again leading us to false assumptions or subsequently disproved conclusions. However, in the pursuit of these God-omitted ventures, other helpful discoveries can be made. That demonstrates what God is able to do; taking something humankind has developed in error and using it to bring about something good.

It is amazing to me that an anthropologist can take a few unearthed bones and with aid of an artist they concoct a complete image of our alleged ancient relative. Absurd and illogical by their standards is what I would conclude. They have no accurate measuring tool, namely that of observation. These inductive reasoning methods are often proven false with the passing of time. And why is it that the discoveries are so sparse and usually in remote locations? This is not to say that the bones or fragments are not of prehistorical origin of some life form. Imagination plays a great role in artistic re-creations that are not verifiable.

We accept many things by faith. Looking at the intricate formation of living organisms, one with a rational mind should conclude that a higher source has created. Perhaps it is the desire for authority or recognition that motivates a researcher to seek out origins with validations. Validation without God always seems to have missing information or errors in conclusion. Is this all because we have so much information available that the truth is hidden in the intricate weave of the whole picture?

As mature adults we must separate fact from fiction.
