"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge" Prov 1:7
This scripture tells us that knowledge begins with the fear of the Lord. The fear of the Lord is the ABC of wisdom. I know this may sound counter intuitive to a lot of people, people who know a lot of things but people who don't fear the Lord, people who think that knowledge has nothing to do with the fear of the Lord.
Charles Darwin obviously did not have the fear of the Lord when he came up with his theory of evolution. Unfortunately, or may be fortunately, his theory is finally crumbling. Wasn't Mr. Darwin smart? He definitely was. Wasn't he more knowledgeable than most of us? He definitely was. Why didn't he know better, then? He simply had no fear of the Lord. He totally relied on his little mind. But the bible warns us against relying too much on our own mind. It says, "Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil" Prov 3:7
Knowledge without God, knowledge without Christ..Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge... Col 2:3....knowledge without eternal perspective is no knowledge. It leads nowhere.
