Destroyed by Pure Knowledge?

Is it possible man is unable to sustain, possess, or even comprehend pure knowledge? He is bound by an impure/limited mind, and to combine the two (pure/limitless and impure/limited), the result might be an inevitable meltdown. We do know man has his limitations, his boundaries keeping him at bay. For instance, we are basically confined to Planet Earth (a boundary) and the Galaxy beyond proves how little we know or ever will know.

Science even seems to fortify this concept. Certain opposites can never be combined because one will take over the other. For instance, light: Darkness can never exist in light. One ceases, and the other has no choice but to dominate or destroy the other.

In the purest sense of knowledge, one must consider its darkest potential by giving it to impure people. We think we will thrive with it, but the opposite has been proven. Take Einstein’s contribution to the splitting of Atoms. This deep science or knowledge produced the most massive WMD ever known to man. We are now capable of ceasing all life on Planet Earth from our new insight into dimensions that are in fact, REAL.

What’s strange is our complete lust for knowledge. It seems almost natural we are driven with this desire. Let’s not forget the Garden; Adam and Eve were tempted by the unknown, and this is what we consider the Great Fall of man, eating from the Tree of Knowledge.

We understand, to know means we have the advantage over those who don’t, giving us the one thing ALL humans seek; POWER. Our fear is defined by the inevitable fact that ignorance is lurking, leaving in its wake a manipulated people who may be following a lie. So, we seek her (knowledge) in full force like those who ran for the Gold Mines of California. It means that much to us. This is why we are on this Forum. We want to KNOW!

The problem still lies in this, though; if pure, untainted, absolute KNOWLEDGE is possessed by mortal man, what would happen? Could our “splitting of more atoms” lead us to annihilation? If we truly find the answers that we are looking for in the perfect sense, would our minds explode or would we conquer the Earth because fallacy and infallible cannot coexist?

We see bits and pieces, but our clawing to discover only opens another door. Is this something we can accept, or will our lust for knowledge drive us in circles until we die? Paul said, we see through a glass darkly. Should we accept some of our futility in this effort as being OK?

One thing cannot be denied; The Religious World is wanting knowledge and to lay claim to its deep mysteries, and yet, agreement is by far over and has never been obtained. If God allowed “One Faith” to access pure knowledge, we must ask ourselves, what would really happen?

Was God’s plan of innocence in the beginning a perfect design?
