We need the wisdom of God, but only as he reveals it for us. Did Adam and Eve really believe the serpent s lies that they would be like God. We shouldn t be so hard on them. We have done no better ourselves. We might ask the question today.
Man is an intelligent creature.
We are blessed with minds that the crowning handiwork of God. But there is a tendency to equate wisdom and technology today. This is another problem of our times. Our technology helps us, but we often lack the wisdom to use it rightly. For instance, nuclear energy brought us nuclear power and medicine.
