Science bows before faith

Brazil’s economy is going through a delicate period, caused by a timid growth and inflation above the target set by the Government, which is 6.5%, but in the last 12 months has been 6.7%.

In order for the country to continue to grow, it is necessary, among other things, to regain trust – says Alexandre Tombini, president of the Central Bank of Brazil.

In an interview with Estadão (a Brazilian newspaper), he claims that an economic growth – as a result of PIB growing 0.6% in the first quarter – may waver because people are not placing their trust in the economy.

And if the problem is a lack of trust that needs to be regained, we can also say there is a lack of faith that the economic recession will be resolved.

Tombini believes that once families and businesses regain confidence in the Brazilian economy, the country may grow again. In other words, people need to regain faith in the economy.

He also says that the waver of the economy due to the lack of trust impacts investments. This is, THE WAVER OF FAITH CAUSES AN IMPACT ON THE ECONOMY.

He further states that “a turnaround of confidence is necessary for the economy to continue a gradual recovery process”. But, how can we regain faith in the economy without setting a foundation of the same faith in God?

He further says that “this growth has a large number of variables”, but believes “that it is necessary to restore confidence”. In fact, GROWTH DEPENDS ON SEVERAL FACTORS, BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT OF THEM ALL IS THE FAITH THAT COMES FROM ABOVE.

Further in the report, he explains that the Government shows signs of being confused, since “one minute they seem to agree” (in making a fiscal adjustment), and “the next minute, they don’t”. This means that THE GOVERNMENT’S MIXED SIGNALS ARE SIGNS OF DOUBT, AND FAITH IS THE ONLY POWER ABLE TO ELIMINATE DOUBTS.

Tombini continues by stating that the Government needs to define themselves “clearly”, and when this happens, specifically tell everyone how “this will be achieved”. This is: THE GOVERNMENT’S INDECISIVENESS IS A CLEAR MANIFESTATION OF FEAR. ONLY FAITH CAN ELIMINATE INDECISIVENESS, FEAR AND DOUBT. BUT IF THE GOVERNMENT HAS FAITH IN THEIR ABILITY TO REVERSE THIS PROBLEM, THEY WILL KNOW HOW TO CLEARLY DEFINE THE CORRECT PATH TO FOLLOW.

To conclude, he says that “the Government is the one that must be definite, in order to regain trust, it is important for them to be decisive…”

This is, THE RETAKE OF THE ECONOMY DEPENDS ON THE GOVERNMENT’S DECISIVENESS. THE GOVERNMENT’S DECISIVENESS DEPENDS ON THEIR FAITH.

We do not understand much about the economy, but if it involves trust in order for its growth to resume, then this means that the economy depends on faith. And when it comes to faith, we are talking about the power that emanates from Above and makes the impossible happen.

To the wise and prudent of this world, the apostle Paul asks the following question:

“…The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.” Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?” Corinthians 1.18-20
