There is a complex interplay between knowledge, power, and survival. Science, often assumed to be purely objective, is influenced by those who fund and promote it, shaping the direction of research and its societal impact. Blind trust in science can lead to manipulation, as vested interests may steer findings to serve their own goals. True progress requires wisdom, not just technological advancement, because without careful guidance, innovation can lead to unintended consequences. The preservation of knowledge is essential for the survival of civilization, yet societies risk losing foundational skills—such as reading—if overreliance on technology renders them obsolete. Ultimately, the way humanity safeguards, questions, and applies knowledge today will determine whether future generations inherit a world of wisdom and resilience or one of confusion and vulnerability. The successes and failings of the human race in such safeguarding their civilisation determines some of the issues the Christ will have to solve when he returns. Who today are the faithful stewards who will be praised by him and promoted for it when he comes?
