“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” (Proverbs 1:7)
This verse surprised me.
I’ve read through Proverbs many times in my life. But I’ve always thought it only said, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” Which it does, in fact, say in Proverbs 9.
But, the fear of the LORD also applies to knowledge. Which touches on a whole different kind of understanding.
And it occurred to me that all the hoopla that men have for the pursuit of science, is based on a false premise.
Which is, that the pursuit of knowledge, or science, is the same as the pursuit of Truth. Truth that encompasses physical reality. Or all that is true about the natural world.
