IN the NEWS - Trappist What?

.... strong drink is raging:

 and whosoever is deceived thereby

is not wise.

Proverbs 20:1

"The label of “Trappist” is among the most exclusive designations of beer worldwide, with only 11 breweries around the globe qualifying for the title.

But that number is about to become 12, with the Cistercian monks at Mount Saint Bernard Abbey in Leicestershire gaining recognition as the first Trappist brewery in U.K. history.

The Leicestershire monks, who previously tried their luck at dairy farming, began exploring the idea of brewing beer in 2013 after they closed their dairy for monetary reasons. Inspired by the brew monks of Norcia in Italy, the U.K. monks visited the Norcia brewery a number of times and decided to move forward with a beer of their own.

After visiting other brew abbeys and conducting five years of extensive research, the monks opted to brew Belgian beer and began experimenting on the feast of St. Lutgard – a saint who was known for surviving on bread and beer during fasts.

“Beer is a good, honest, nurturing drink – our Belgian friends said more than once it should be liquid bread and not colored water, and that’s what we’re aiming to live up to,” said Dom Erik Varden, abbot of Mount Saint Bernard, according to the BBC." EWTN

"Counsel" (interesting)

"Most people have heard of the "wisdom of the crowd," in which individuals in a crowd are privately asked to give an answer to a question, such as how many jelly beans are in a jar. When averaged

together, the answer given by the crowd will generally be better than for any given individual.

The aggregation of many independent estimates can outperform the most accurate individual judgement. This centenarian finding, popularly known as the 'wisdom of crowds', has been applied to problems ranging from the diagnosis of cancer to financial forecasting.

It is widely believed that social influence undermines collective wisdom by reducing the diversity of opinions within the crowd. 

 We found that averaging consensus decisions was substantially more accurate than aggregating the initial independent opinions.

Remarkably, combining as few as four consensus choices outperformed the wisdom of thousands of individuals." Phys.org

Creation Moment 2/18/2017 - "Sensory" Proof of God

"If God did not exist, there would be no reason to trust that our observations correspond to reality or that the human mind is

capable of rational thought. After all, if our sensory organs were merely the unplanned result of evolution, then there would be no reason to presume that they truly sense the universe. If the human brain were simply the accidental result of mutations—errors in DNA—then there would be no reason to suppose that the brain is capable of discerning truth from error. After all, why trust a mindlessly produced accident to be right about anything? So, if God did not design us, then we would have no rational reason to think that our own reasoning is rational.
On the other hand, if God created us in His image, after His likeness, then we would have a very good reason to expect that our minds are capable of rational reasoning. We have a good reason to trust that our sensory organs perceive reality since God designed them to do just that."
