“If you will not fight for theright when you can easily winwithout bloodshed, if you willnot fight when your victorywill be sure and not so costly,you may come to the momentwhen you will have to fightwith all the odds against youand only aprecarious chanceof survival. There may be aworse case. You may have tofight when there is no chanceof victory,because it is betterto perish than to live asslaves.”—Winston Churchill“Those who hold toleranceas their highest virtue do sobecause they have no others.”—G.

Bothhistory and scriptureindicatethatbefore theflood in thedays ofNoahpeople weremuch biggerandsmarter than theaverageperson is today. TheBiblesays theywerelivingtobemorethan 900 years old.

This is not the sameas wisdom orintelligence. Wecan have acomputer because thousands ofmen beforehaveinvented various parts and ideas thatcan beputtogether. Thereis no evidence thatmodern man issmarter than ancientman. Ithinktheoppositeis true. Manyof the ancientstructures indicategreater intelligence insolving problems in alow-tech age.
