01/31/22 BEWARE THE PSEUDO INTELLIGENTSIA

I recently listened to an interview with Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Do you remember the really smart kids in school (you know, like out-of-this-world-smart)?
Do you remember that in the middle of their ocean of intellect there were little volcanic islands of total disconnect from reality?
Do you remember that when they were wrong about something (I mean REALLY WRONG), it was impossible to get them to see the obvious, the actual, the real, the true and they spewed their angry errors like magma from a volcanic cesspool?

Those kids grow up to be highly esteemed leaders. Then they are able to spew whatever errors they believe, without fear of contradiction, at least from the intellectual morons who make up the rank and file of society.

On more than one occasion I have heard Tyson build his arguments on erroneous foundations. His mistakes are obvious contradictions of historic, scientific facts, but his commitment to his mistakes is based on a predisposition to attack that which he does not believe to be true (such as the existence of God and the reliability of Scripture and the reality of spiritual truths.

Sometimes the attitude, if not the intellectual prowess, is seen in religious leaders. In the sea of truth they have islands of error, major error, damnable error. But because people are impressed with human accomplishment and humanistic academia more than Divine revelation, "Academia's" mass of spiritual pollution is ignored and accepted by the masses as though it is truth.

People are ever learning but never come to the knowledge of the truth.
People love worldly wisdom, demonic wisdom, earthly wisdom but hate Divine wisdom.
