We Know It All

By moderation thinking we know it all. We are shocked to find an ancient people who had the same knowledge we do. This seems to fall in line with evolutionary thinking. In times past we were stupid cavemen. Now we have evolved into the brilliant humans we are today. Granted, scriptures does tell us that knowledge will abound in the last days. Does that mean we have the corner on all knowledge in our era only? I read this very interesting article about a 500 year old map.

Researches are baffled that this mapmaker had enough knowledge at his disposal to accurately display the world, specifically South America. It seems to me an amazing lack of humility on our part not to realize there are wonders and mysteries of knowledge that were discovered in the past. Some of this knowledge may be lost in time, we have not even rediscovered it yet ourselves. I look forward to the day with the Lord when we, as Christians, will be able to comprehend and understand the entire creation and mind of God.

Why did he put a huge ocean west of America years before European explorers discovered the Pacific?
