long ago ideas

“When we are tired, we are attacked by ideas we conquered long ago." - Friedrich Nietzsche.

To conquer them again, we have to return to what Joseph and Oliver taught.

Oxford mathematician on Christianity

Ten years ago Professor John Lennox spoke at the Oxford Union about why he is Christian. In those 10 years, the video got 1.5 million views. But Oxford Union has 1.83 million subscribers.

Two weeks ago, the Daily Dose Of Wisdom channel repurposed the original video with commentary and has already attracted 2,368,630 views--with a base of only 183,000 subscribers.

The presentation is excellent. If you haven't seen it, you should.

But this may tell us that interest in religion is rising again, just as President Nelson said it would.
