Peanuts

  • By Robert Doolan, Creation Ex-Nihilo, Vol.9, No.1, December 1986

    Booker T Washington invited Carver to Tuskegee:

    I cannot offer you money, position or fame. The first two you have. The last, from the place you now occupy, you will no doubt achieve. These things I now ask you to give up.

  • By Christian Overman of Biblical Worldview Matters

    The accomplishments of Dr. George Washington Carver in the field of botany-chemistry are legendary, having developed 300 products from the peanut, and 118 from the sweet potato. The products Carver invented include printers ink, shaving cream, plastics, adhesives and much more.

    But Carver only owned three patents on his many creations. Why? Because he didn't feel it was right to take money for something God gave him.

"It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad."

C.S. Lewis
