Knowledge gets a bad rap. Remember, there was that whole deal way back in Genesis, you know the story, you were there. Alright, here's a refresher, in case you forgot. There's a garden called the Garden of Eden and within that garden are two humans, a snake and a tree, but not just any tree, it's the Tree of Knowledge, which you, God, have clearly stated is not to be the victim of any tomfoolery, i.e. stay away from the fruit, Adam and Eve. The snake convinces dumb-dumb (or should I say smart-smart?) Eve to take a bite of the forbidden fruit, thereby bringing sin (slash, knowledge) into the world. As much as I'd like to believe the Garden of Eden was awesome, I have to say I actually am one of those people who believes the good without the bad wouldn't taste as sweet. What are your thoughts, having created this hot mess?
The way I see it is that knowledge is power, and while power can lead to dangerous things, it isn't necessarily one from the get-go. That's something I think you should know, Mr. All Powerful. Absolutes are a difficult breed, but no, a little knowledge isn't a dangerous thing, it's the beginning of understanding, and that should be exciting.
Anyway, we'll tackle my other issues later! Best wishes with knowing everything!

Did you hear that a scientist has created artifical life in the form of a bacteria in a goat intestine? Is that too much knowledge?
