But we call a man well read if his mind is stored with the verse of poets and the prose of historians, even though he were ignorant of the name of Descartes or Kant.

Today, it' s not uncommon to get the impression that our claims to know are either doomed before they begin or that they have a status that approaches certainty. The pendulum seems to swing from one end to the other, with our educational institutions too often perpetuating both depending on the person being asked.

Both our secular culture and our Christian discourse suffer from a lack of appreciation of nature. "Nature" describes the world as we find it, created by God, broken by the fall, exhibiting both stability and change.
