DATA

"this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light"

If the highest level of conscious reality is Truth then what is knowledge or fact or data?

We now know that a terabyte of data may yield little or no (relevant) facts. Our perception of reality is never just a composite of facts.

Not 'everything' is empirically verifiable or mathematically provable. Thus it is that the idea of truth goes beyond the realm of mere knowledge and fact.

Just because one does not have access to "hard data" or facts does not always mean that one is less than truthful.

The confusion in the human mind regarding the elusive nature of truth is totally clarified by the single statement of Jesus Christ: "I am the truth". [ saved.com ]

The mind will not get beyond the "darkness" of human reason without making the "leap of faith" to accept THE TRUTH.

"this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light"

In the current presidential election cycle many will succumb to the magical illusion of a miriad polling 'tricks' and data 'games'. Things will be made to appear and disappear in a flurry of confused fact and fiction.

The bible speaks of "signs and lying wonders". I believe we see them often on the nightly news as pundits spin and weave tangled webs of data driven deception; bereft of the essential element for 'reality-testing': TRUTH.

So, yes, we do live in a mad world if truth is indispensable to sanity. If there is such a thing as the NATIONAL MENTAL HEALTH QUOTIENT, it may be at an all time low.

IS THERE HOPE?
The bible describes this situation:
"Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand."

ARE YOU AMONG "THE WISE"?
