“The practice of first developing a clear and precise definition of a process without regard for efficiency, and then using it as a guide and a test in exploring equivalent processes possessing other characteristics, such as greater efficiency, is very common in mathematics. It is a very fruitful practice which should not be blighted by premature emphasis on efficiency in computer execution.” ShouldFirstsProcessCommonPracticeClearGreaterComputerTestsRegardMathematicsDefinitionsGuidesDevelopingCharacteristicsExecutionEfficiencyExploringPreciseEmphasisPossessingPremature Author:Kenneth E.

“Mysticism, according to its historical and psychological definitions, is the direct intuition or experience of God; and a mystic is a person who has, to a greater or less degree, such a direct experience -- one whose religion and life are centered, not merely on an accepted belief or practice, but on that which the person regards as first hand personal knowledge.” FirstsPersonsHandsBeliefPracticeGreaterDegreesDirectRegardHistoricalDefinitionsIntuitionAcceptedPsychologicalMysticismMysticPersonal Knowledge Author:Evelyn Underhill

“The God who inspired the Bible is the same God who made the universe, Earth, and all life. This God is the very definition of truth; therefore nature's record will never contradict Scripture and vice versa. When a seeming contradiction confronts us, we can know with certainty we have either misunderstood (one, the other, or both revelations) or perhaps we haven't yet dug deploy enough. Whatever the case, we can embrace the opportunity to gain greater knowledge and appreciation for the Bible, for nature, and for the God who is responsible for both.” KnowsMadeEnoughEarthUniverseOpportunityCasesRecordsGreaterHavensGainsResponsibleEmbraceInspiredDefinitionsVicesAppreciationScriptureCertaintyRevelationsContradictionMisunderstoodVice VersaSeeming Author:Hugh Ross
