Logic is Not Enough

"We all know that human judgment and logical thinking will not be enough to get answers to the questions that matter most in life. We need revelation from God. And we will need not just one revelation in a time of stress, but we need a constantly renewed stream."

—Henry B. Eyring, "Continuing Revelation"

This is something I wish the teacher of my Critical Thinking class understood. Human judgement and logical thinking are good things, and we should each develop ours, but they're not enough. To answer the questions that really matter, eternally, we need revelation, and we need to accept that revelation on faith. We cannot prove the validity of our beliefs, but that doesn't mean that they are not valid. We can't prove the importance of acting according to our beliefs, but that doesn't mean that it's not important. Logic and reasoning will only get you so far, usually only about as far as you can see. To expand your view into the eternities, we need to look through the eyes of faith.
