I gather that there can be at least a thesis made for every infinitesimal subject. For that reason, it is not possible to fully grasp the absolute.
Therefore, it is necessary for a student, even teacher, to seek the connections between different level of theses. If there is a new thing, a connection must be formed first, otherwise, it must be made secondary or put aside, especially for teachers, despite how tempting it may stir up curiosity from either the students or the teacher himself.
I find this an important entry because I have seen a pastor loved to bring up data, even debunked theories for seemingly no purpose at all: As if he ran out of ideas to impress the audience, as if he wished to show off something he was sure no one else knew--wherefore where else lies the abundance of such curious informations other than the debunked controversies. For example: The word "call upon" in Genesis 4:26 also meant and held by many Rabbis to be the opposite meaning "profane". Another example: Some dead have been measured to lose a infinitesimal weight right after their last breath, this pastor wished the class to wonder about the possibility of the effect of the spirit leaving the body.
There are some you expect to be shallow, but usually, we find many who shouldn't be this shallow when it comes to the community of the educated, of those who are expected to work with the increase knowledge in Christ our Lord.
