Long, long ago, when Europeans first encountered the inhabitants of Tahiti, the King of Tahiti was fascinated to learn about how other kings in Europe lived and ruled, and was particularly interested in the fact that they all had thrones. As a means to secure trade agreements with these other nations, the King declared that he would require each nation to supply him with a replica of the thrones they had. One by one, he collected these thrones and stored them above his royal residence.

One day, while the King was sitting on his throne, the roof collapsed under the weight of all these thrones and he was crushed to death in the collapse.

The moral of the story: "He who lives in grass house shouldn't stow thrones."

Faith isn't a jump in the dark. It is a walk in the light. Faith is not guessing; it is knowing something.

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.
