In the garden of Eden there were two trees, one of them was the knowledge. And the other one the Tree of Life. And when man left the Tree of Life and took the first bite off the tree of knowledge, he separated himself from God. And now he bit off gunpowder, destroys himself. He bit off an electricity, pulling the coal from the earth, where un—beneath it, is eight thousand miles of burning volcano, and these… Now, he’s bit hisself off automobile, kills more people than all the wars. He’s got hisself a hydrogen bomb now; I wonder what he’s going to do with that. He’s still biting from that tree of knowledge. And every time he bites, he just separates himself away, destroys himself. And God is not known by knowledge, God’s known by faith; by faith, you believe. Not try to figure it out, you just believe. And that’s the way God is known. God bless you.
