And people think that Christians are naive and gullible!

It was one of the Greek philosophers who said "The knowledge of one's Ignorance is the beginning of Wisdom," or words to that effect. So is Fear (Awe) of the Lord. Proverbs 1:7. I like Ray Steven's ("The Streak") lighter take on it all: "The less you know the more you think the more you know; the more you know the less you think the more you know!" Proverbs 4:7

Thanks, Charlie. I’m listening to the audio book of Donald Rumsfeld’s “Known and Unknown” – and your essay brings to mind his famous (and often lampooned) quote about “things we don’t know that we don’t know.” In his own words, having “intellectual humility” when it comes to what we claim to know for sure, is an important part of being honest – and, I might add, in being vulnerable (and not bulletproof) before the All-Knowing One.
