We are not doing the will of God when we speculate upon things that He has seen fit to withhold from us. The question for us to study is: “What is truth, the truth for this time, which is to be cherished, loved, honored, and obeyed?” The devotees of science have been defeated and disheartened in their efforts to find out God. What they need to inquire at this time is: “What is the truth that will enable us to win the salvation of our souls?” {8T 317.1}

Vi gør ikke Guds vilje, når vi spekulerer over ting, som han ser er bedst at holde borte fra os. Det spørgsmål vi må undersøge er: "Hvad er sandhed, sandheden for denne tid, som der skal værnes om, elskes, æres og adlydes?" Videnskabsentusiaster er blevet nedslået og modløse i deres anstrengelser for at finde ud af Gud. Det som de må spørge om nu er: "Hvad er den sandhed der vil sætte os i stand til at vinde frelse for vore sjæle?”
