Alright, the joke that follows is weak and clichéd, maybe even distasteful. But knowing what you know, answer the question. There is a room with no windows and only one door. It is completely empty except for a $100 bill lying on the floor. A leprechaun, an honest lawyer, and a dishonest lawyer are ushered into the room. The door is closed and locked. The money disappears. Now, use your critical thinking apparatus. Who took the money?
But the real question is, how important is critical thinking? We are inundated with "information". We are barraged with claims of what is true, how things work, what is worthwhile, etc. How good are we at sorting out reality and fantasy, information and innuendo, facts and opinions?
Phil 1:9-11 And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ-to the glory and praise of God. NIV Eph 4:14-15 As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming;
but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ,... NASU Oh, if you need the punchline, you can find it in the sixth paragraph at the link below.
