No one in the world can change Truth. What we can do and should do is to seek truth and to serve it when we have found it.

I just finished. I'm done, I'm not particularly glad I'm done, but still it was a wild ride while it lasted. G.K. Chesterton's "The Everlasting Man" was exhilarating to say the least. I was thrilled with the book, it was witty, it was funny(I chuckled out-loud at some of the most ironic statements. Yet what I find most amusing is that how true and prophetic it rings out. It smashes down doors of folly and sheds some brilliant light upon modern errors that last even a hundred years later. While we as a society have added unto the list they can be explained simply as continuations of the same brand with slight variations. Truth is blaring and its beauty is dramatized as paganism is brought to light. Chesterton is no slouch and pulls no punches and is most clear in his refutations here present. I can't help but love this book, it pokes holes in the Darwinist so called explanation of things as he sets it in its rightful place: a theory, and imperfect as theories are considered.

Cheers!
