How many books would you have to read, how many lectures would have to attend, how many discussions with others would you require in order to be an expert on organisms? There are not enough books, or lectures, or discussions that could make you an expert on organisms..........UNTIL YOU EXPERIENCED JUST ONE! Same for riding a bicycle, or holding a newborn. Knowledge is pointless without experience. Thus the great river of life, so the Most High God could experience all the wonderful things that it had knowledge of........but had not experienced. So simple indeed. WHY EXPERIENCE !!!
