The Theory of Knowledge

I was in one of my church meetings yesterday and before it started, someone was talking about one of their classes in school called "Theory of Knowledge," it was basically the study of epistimology, how you find truth, and how you really know if something is true. The first thought that came to me was that I would avoid taking that class anywhere, especially in college, because they would just confuse me and hurt me in my search for truth instead of help me. If you don't know me very well, you should know that I'm a believer. You can tell me something insane, and as long as I know you're not insane, I'll believe it. I'll believe a million crazy things, but does that mean I know them? No. But faith is believing in things not seen but true. And the only way you can really know something is by going to God, showing Him your faith in that specific thing, and letting Him perfect it. 

So for my inspirement, I know it's cliche, but I'm gonna go with the flow this time and do a poem.

You can say that you know what two plus two is

That you know the force that turned Rome to ruins

But really, think, when it comes down to it

How can you really know what truth is?

There are instruments we can use to get there

And experience to make us much  more aware

The reality of the truth is true

But you gotta work for it; it starts with you

We gotta use the tools that we have been given

So between our mind and heart there's no division

Don't tell me all about your disinclination

When you can go and find the truth through revelation

Tools were used by Galileo Galilei

It's too bad he never found truth during the day

So why do we wait for the sun to come out

To ask our Father what truth is all about?

If you've got a question, an answer will come

You just gotta find the source then add up the sum

Of all your evidences and incidents

Because a day will come when you'll find out what it meant

Sometimes it's so simple, you just gotta use your brain

Logical thinking really isn't such a pain

Don't just listen to "proffesionals" talk on the news

All they want is money, they're just there to amuse

It don't matter if Obama says that it's true

Would you believe him if he said that grass is really blue?

People tell you that the scientist can only say

What's right or wrong, but it's not that way

To gain the knowledge and wisdom of truth

All you need is a spiritual telephone booth

Plant the seed and try the experiment

'Cause truth is truth regardless of malicious intent

And really, what is false is only of this world

One day the father of lies will be the one in the swirl

The way to find truth is to get on your knees

And God will give it to you, if you only say please
