Was Einstein Right? Exploring the Imagination - Charles D Kelley

One of Professor Albert Einstein’s most surprising quotes was, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” Was he correct? Clearly, he understood that imagination and all of its related cousins, like creativity, ideation, innovation, and change, were indispensable to virtually all things related to living life to the fullest. This talk looks at these topics and how they interrelate from the perspectives of Scripture, fascinating innovators, effective leaders, and influential artists of all stripes.
