In exciting times like these, I look back upon history. Starting with our earliest stories in 1400 BC of Moses freeing the slaves in Egypt, and God giving him the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai. The singular violence of Jesus throwing the moneychangers from the temple in Jerusalem. The Rashidun Caliphate's seige of that same city only 600 years later. The Muslims would war with Christendom for another 800 years, resulting in the capture of Constantinople in 1453.

The House of Medici using their banking cartel in Florence to kickstart the Renaissance. The Vatican apologizing to Galileo 350 years after forcing him to confess or be burned at the stake. Martin Luther's 95 Theses. Francis Bacon and the scientific method. Leviathan by Thomas Hobbes. The writings of John Locke giving birth to our Declaration of Independence.

Christian philosophers looked outward, on Man's stewardship of the world. We were taught as boy scouts to draw, form, and build upon creation. That physical laws of gravity, electromagnetic force, and matter could be forged to our will if we respected how they worked. Jesus, our central hero, was a carpenter.
