Now, of course, not everybody believes that.

But when I graduated high school my brother Jack convinced me to go to a secular college for a couple of years. Since I respected my brother - and my dad was willing to foot the bill - I went. And my brother was right, it was a great experience. I learned a lot while I was there. And one of the most important things I learned concerned the Bible.
You see, when I was a young man, I grew up in college town. I really loved - and still love - that town, but being a college town it had its share of people who were more impressed with the wisdom of men than they were with the wisd ...
