As for Jesus Christ, perhaps we need to focus on His message, to love one another. While we also focus on the message of King Solomon to enjoy each day and not be concerned with wasting our time in a vain quest to believe we are capable of comprehending what only He is capable of knowing.
In my opinion, we should celebrate each new scientific discovery as further proof of why we profess our faith.
Regards and goodwill blogging.
