Human history

 Human history began to be recorded approximately 5,000 years ago. Only about 1.6% of human history is recorded from the time of Adam until the present day. Over the centuries, countless invaluable lessons and insights have undoubtedly slipped through our fingers, whether due to war, natural disasters, or simply the passage of time. Ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans possessed profound knowledge and understanding that has since been lost to us. Additionally, the teachings of wise sages and philosophers throughout history have often been disregarded or forgotten in our modern world obsessed with material wealth and instant gratification. This loss of wisdom deprives us of valuable guidance for navigating life’s challenges and hinders our ability to advance as a society. We must recognize this deficit and make a concerted effort to preserve and uncover the wisdom that remains buried in our past.

 The Bible unequivocally emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and discernment in all aspects of life. Proverbs 14:15 urges believers to "be cautious and watchful, for the ways of a fool are right in their own eyes." This verse serves as a stark reminder that blindly accepting information without questioning its validity can lead to folly and deceit. Furthermore, 1 Thessalonians 5:21 instructs believers to "test everything; hold fast what is good." This command calls for a rigorous examination of ideas, beliefs, and teachings to ensure alignment with God's truth. In essence, critical thinking is not only encouraged but mandated by the Bible in order to guard against deception and stay firmly rooted in God's wisdom. As followers of Christ, we must approach all things with a discerning mind and an unwavering commitment to pursuing truth above all else.

 Critical thinking is the ability to analyze, evaluate, and synthesize information in order to make well-informed decisions. Critical thinking has never been more important in today's fast-paced and complex world. With the rise of fake news, misinformation, and biased narratives on social media and traditional media platforms, individuals must have the skills to sift through the noise and discern fact from fiction. Critical thinking allows us to question assumptions, challenge beliefs, and consider multiple perspectives before reaching a conclusion. It empowers us to be more rational, logical, and objective in our decision-making processes. By sharpening our critical thinking skills, we can navigate through a sea of information overload with clarity, precision, and accuracy in order to make sound judgments that benefit ourselves and society as a who
