		<description>Consider:&lt;br/&gt;  The missing element in every human 'solution' is &lt;br/&gt;  an accurate definition of the creature.  &lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;  The  way  we define  'human'  determines our view &lt;br/&gt;  of self, others, relationships, institutions, life, and &lt;br/&gt;  future. Important? Only the Creator who made us &lt;br/&gt;  in His own image is qualified to define us accurately. &lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt; Many problems in human experience are the result of &lt;br/&gt;  false and inaccurate definitions of humankind premised &lt;br/&gt;  in man-made religions and humanistic philosophies.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;  Human knowledge is a fraction of the whole universe. &lt;br/&gt;  The balance is a vast void of human ignorance. Human &lt;br/&gt;  reason cannot fully function in such a void; thus, the &lt;br/&gt;  intellect can rise no higher than the criteria by which it &lt;br/&gt;  perceives and measures values.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;  Humanism makes man his own standard of measure. &lt;br/&gt;  However, as with all measuring systems, a standard &lt;br/&gt;  must be greater than the value measured. Based on &lt;br/&gt;  preponderant ignorance and an egocentric carnal &lt;br/&gt;  nature, humanism demotes reason to the simpleton &lt;br/&gt;  task of excuse-making in behalf of the rule of appe-&lt;br/&gt;  tites, desires, feelings, emotions, and glands.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;  Because man, hobbled in an ego-centric predicament, &lt;br/&gt;  cannot invent criteria greater than himself, the humanist &lt;br/&gt;  lacks a predictive capability. Without instinct or trans-&lt;br/&gt;  cendent criteria, humanism cannot evaluate options with &lt;br/&gt;  foresight and vision for progression and survival. Lack-&lt;br/&gt;  ing foresight, man is blind to potential consequence and &lt;br/&gt;  is unwittingly committed to mediocrity, collectivism, &lt;br/&gt;  averages, and regression - and worse. Humanism is an &lt;br/&gt;  unworthy worship.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;  The void of human ignorance can easily be filled with &lt;br/&gt;  a functional faith while not-so-patiently awaiting the &lt;br/&gt;  foot-dragging growth of human knowledge and behav-&lt;br/&gt;  ior. Faith, initiated by the Creator and revealed and &lt;br/&gt;  validated in His Word, the Bible, brings a transcend-&lt;br/&gt;  ent standard to man the choice-maker. Other philo-&lt;br/&gt;  sophies and religions are man-made, humanism, and &lt;br/&gt;  thereby lack what only the Bible has:&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;  1.Transcendent Criteria and &lt;br/&gt;  2.Fulfilled Prophetic Validation.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;  The vision of faith in God and His Word is survival &lt;br/&gt;  equipment for today and the future.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;  Human is earth's Choicemaker. Psalm 25:12 He is by &lt;br/&gt;  nature and nature's God a creature of Choice - and of &lt;br/&gt;  Criteria. Psalm 119:30,173 His unique and definitive &lt;br/&gt;  characteristic is, and of Right ought to be, the natural &lt;br/&gt;  foundation of his environments, institutions, and re-&lt;br/&gt;  spectful relations to his fellow-man. Thus, he is orien-&lt;br/&gt;  ted to a Freedom whose roots are in the Order of the &lt;br/&gt;  universe.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt; Let us proclaim it.

<p> Many problems in human experience are the result of <br />  false and inaccurate definitions of humankind premised <br />  in man-made religions and humanistic philosophies.</p>
<p>  Human knowledge is a fraction of the whole universe. <br />  The balance is a vast void of human ignorance. Human <br />  reason cannot fully function in such a void; thus, the <br />  intellect can rise no higher than the criteria by which it <br />  perceives and measures values.</p>
