My personal view on it is very simple and susinct. It's sort of growing up watching various magicians practicing slight of hand you learn what you think are all the secrets you can explain away where the card went or how the rabbit appeared then as an adult being in the middle of a desert and seeing an individual draw a glass of water from a dry rock we will spend the rest of our lives trying to figure out the "science" of how he did rather than just drinking the water and being thankful for it I am not against education just that we need to understand that knowledge is not wisdom Job 28:28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the LORD, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding. Psalm 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. Proverbs 15:33 The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility. Isaiah 33:6 And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure. we tend to try to replace faith or belief with knowledge for instance I have to go to school and get my BA, Masters, MD, PHD in order to secure the best job when all the time the truth is that by the time we get there we have missed out on the "journey" of getting there which is where we would see the hand of God protecting us, inspiring us, sustaining us, etc... I think in it's place education/intellectualism is great but knowledge without belief and faith is just hopeless misery. Just my thoughts. J well as usual thought provoking subject matters.
