It is said that all truths are only half truths, and that seems to be the case. Take a simple Acorn for example. What is the truth about this Acorn? It grows on an Oak tree, it is a nut for consumption, or a seed that can produce another Oak tree. On the sub-atomic level it is made up of atoms, grows according to a mathematical system of Fibonacci numbers, etc. etc. If we were able to know all there is to know about an Acorn on the atomic, and sub-atomic levels, then delve into the intentions behind it's very creation, we might well spend the rest of our lives trying to tell the whole truth about the Acorn.

And so mankind in it's limited abilities may try to tell the truth about something only to fill in the gaps between bits of truth with supposition in order to connect the dots and come to an understanding of a matter. Thus, we are left with half truths, and more times than we might be willing to admit, erroneous fictions that we label as truths. This divides us all, confuses us all, and misleads us all. It's the filling in of suppositions that puts the fly in the ointment, and causes it to stink.

But by using the contrast of both secular, and religious history, against the standard of The Holy Scripture as the true paradigm to fill in the gaps, we are suddenly able, by contrast alone, to realize a greater truth that can not be explained away by the fanciful efforts of men, or by the subversive machinations of demons.

The Vinnilians by William Lanter

There is a land called Skadan, far in the north. There dwelt many peoples. Among them was a little people called the Winnili (Vinnili spelled phonically), their characteristic features of the physical type were light hair, blue eyes, light complexion, and tallness of stature.

Even the saga-men, from whom the Roman historian Tacitus gathered the facts for his Germania -- a valuable work for the history of civilization, knew that in the so-called Svevian Sea, north of the German continent, lay another important part of Germany, inhabited by Sviones. (Tac. Germ. 44).

Tacitus speaks about the Vinnilian's with some admiration as a small people whose numbers, he says, was counterbalanced by their unimpeachable unity, and warlike virtues, which rendered them secure in the midst of the numerous and mighty tribes around them.

At the time of Paul the Deacons writings the Vinnilians dwelt in the most northern part of Germany, on the lower Albis (Elbe River). Five hundred years later we find them as rulers in Pannonia, whence they invade Italy. They had by then been converted to Christianity. A hundred years after they had become settled in North Italy, Paul a Latin scholar wrote a little treatise about them, the De Origine Longobardorum.

In the 9/11 address to the nation George W. Bush said: "Today, our nation saw evil -- the very worst of human nature..." What did he mean by that? What is human nature? Who are the humans?
