Everytime I see Beethoven I see Daniel. I have no reason to believe this. But I believe that dogs were started on their dominions from the time of the fall. I believe that earlier civilizations programmed species to do and be certain things for them. The fact that Jacob was able to trick fate, somewhat as it were to breed certain colors of animals, so that he could have an investment to take home with him, means that there was knowledge of such things very far back in history. I believe that Daniel and the Hebrew boys took some of the knowledge that was in the possession of the early Semites and incorporated it with the dominions of Medo-Persian civilization.
I think that we are at a crossroads of education where people have the ability to allow the human brain to atrophy or not. Practice is no longer included as part of the process. Hand skills are minimized as menial and unnecessary. We are in trouble. We are in danger of becoming single element species. We can and must take dominion of the education process and aim our humanity in a renaissance movement or suffer a worse dark ages. The Church must take the wheel and stop telling Jesus to take the wheel for the things we must do. The hands must be made to start early being incorporated in the learning process. Analyzation of early specializations must be accompanied with unsympathetic training and not using school as a socialization experiment. My opinion!
