The Difference Between Being Smart and Having Wisdom
I often say you have to have a Ph.D. to be truly stupid. George W. Bush is always ridiculed for not having an incredible intellect. Read a comment he recently made about the wiretapping rules: "If al Qaeda is calling you, we want to know why. I think that's reasonable."
Now, that's wisdom.
In my recent multiverse post, I pointed out that physists (i.e., smart people) are postulating unverifiable multiple universes in order to avoid the conclusion that there is a Designer and Creator of the universe. In other words, they lack wisdom.
