Human knowledge is a fraction of the universe. The balance is a vast void of human ignorance. Human reason cannot fully function in a void, thus, the intellect can rise no higher than the criteria by which it perceives and measures values.Humanism makes man his own standard of measure, however, as with all measuring systems, a standard must be greater than the value measured.Based on ignorance and an eg-centric carnal nature, humanism demotes reason to the simpleton task of excuse-making in behalf of the rule of feelings, appetites, and glands.Because man cannot invent criteria greater than himself, the humanist lacks a predictive capability. Without transcendent criteria, humanism cannot evaluate options with foresight for survival and progression. Without foresight or instinct, man is blind to potential consequence and is unwittingly committed to mediocrity, averages, and regression - and worse.The void of human ignorance can easily be filled with a functional faith while not-so-patiently awaiting the foot-dragging growth of human knowledge and behavior. Faith, initiated by the Creator and revealed and validated in His Word, the Bible, brings a Transcendent Standard to man the choice-maker. Other religions and philosophies are man-made, humanism, and thereby lack Transcendent Criteria and fulfilled prophetic validation. The vision of faith in God and His Word is survival equipment for today and the future.Man is earth's Choicemaker. Psalm 25:12 He is by nature and nature's God a creature of Choice - and of CRITERIA. Psalm 119:30,173 His unique and definitive characteristic is, and of Right ought to be, the natural foundation of his institutions, environments, and respectful relations to his fellow-man. Thus, he is oriented to a Freedom whose roots are in the Order of the universe. Let us proclim it. Behold! The SEASON of Generation-Choicemaker. JOEL 3:14 KJV Selah

The way you define 'human' determines your view of self, others, institutions, life, - and future. Choose wisely...
