You: Why Dave; why now?
Me: Well, I've two talented kids; the younger mentioned my stopping with the lectures. Then enthusiastically asked, 'Dad, can I help you set up a blog?' Moments later, Me: 'OK, that's a great idea, thinkin' they might just read it someday.

To say: '"He is a man of truth," is to say nothing; to say: "He is a man of of," is to state an elementary truth of logic.'

Theology, Science, Mathematics
‘The Fear of The Lord is the Beginning of Wisdom’ Proverbs 1:7 by Solomon, son of David (1000-700BCE). Thomson’s Bible … Intl. replaces ‘Knowledge’ for ‘Wisdom’. Thomson (Secretary of the Constitution) also adds ‘Piety Towards God is the Beginning of Discernment’, before he admonishes like the Intl. with ‘But the Wicked Despise Wisdom and Instruction.’
The second part of the Proverb addresses much of how we instruct our children. If they are taught early that there is a God and something much higher, who loves us, but wishes us to treat eachother as we would be treated, then they will act with increasing ‘Discernment’. I see often that without a introduction to God, children behave as they are treated, and often by their peers, or older children, it can be cruel and dangerous, thoughtless and reckless. Even these things can happen, but there seems to be some grace as when God is shown as a loving guide.
This curve, as steeply asymptotic or linear, I do not know. New ideas, like embryos are fragile, and give mothers (or idea nurturers) a fear as they begin. It is as we get or are given great power and success in our progeny that we grow comfortable with the idea of God, fear diminishes and we, perhaps like the ancients, can have conversations, even dreams of incredible vision. Perhaps too, with a greater understanding of just what God is or expects of us, this pushes our Wisdom, Knowledge, and Understanding.
We can always pray for that guidance and grace.

Science, at its very essence.

I agree with this for the most part. At the very least, understanding something allows you to deal with it rationally instead of through fear.
