Wisdom and courage are indirectly related abstracts. There are times for a man to be wise and there are times for a man to be courageous

Wisdom refers to one's ability to recognize that his previous accumulation of knowledge includes both self evident facts and adopted assumptions. A wise man knows his everpresent correlation of concrete knowledge and potentially disposable assumptions will carry him into situations of unfamiliar evidences and unfamiliar assumptions. A man is who he has learned to be, and a wise man is an ever insightful bio-correlation machine, mending within as to what is false but valid, true but invalid, false and invalid in his quest for the unreachable knowledge of what is true and valid.

A wise man once wrote that all men are liars (Rom 3:3-4), and if you know that then even the liar and his worthless legions (Ps 62:9; Rom 6:16; Matt 6:1-2)direct you toward the everlasting and never changing truth ((Num 23:19; Rom 3:7; 2Cor 11:7,12-15; 13:6-8).

Courage refers to a liar's stubborn tenacity to stand firm, or to charge into a situation that promises an uncertain outcome when an opposition presents itself. It is not a wise man who stands in a trench with his back leaned toward the battle field while he watches for the signal to turn, heave and run into...the history made by cowards who lipsink words of gratitude for the dead who gave them wisedom to let someone else pay the costs.

Galileo was a wise man who measured real evidences among men rising out of the Catholic dark age geo-centic-flat-earth-universe. Galileo was wrong in his conclusion, because the real evidences of his wise study was still correlated with the false assumptions our short lives have no time to measure. Thus, Galileo was also a courageous liar who stood his ground with proofs - - - and assumptions - - - that the earth is global and the universe is heleo-centric.

In 1979 the B.S. Catholic church let the liar Galileo out of their B.S. pergatory. With neither wisedom nor courage the Catholic heirarchy proclaimed in 1980 that Galileo was not condemned into the nowhere place because he was wrong, but because he defied the infallible decree of the fallible pope. And now that the new infallible pope recognizes the fallibilties of all the infallible popes sitting until 1979, by mercy and not by right, the new infallible pope sees no purpose in keeping Galileo in nowhere at all.

Thank God for both the wise and the courageous liars (Ecc 3:14-15; 4:1-3; Heb 9:17; 11:39-40; 12:8), and let those who are highly esteemed among men remain abominations in the sight of God (Ps 62:9; Luke 16:13-15,16,31; Heb 9:17; 2Cor 5:21; Heb 9:27-28).
