Learn whatever I can.
He made it clear that the wisdom of man and this world is foolishness period.
Sad quote-mining again.
1) The Bible wasn't originally written in English, so beware of equivocation fallacies based upon ignorance of the Biblical text. ("Dad" needs to investigate "wisdom" in both Romans & Proverbs.)
2) The Bible does NOT consider SCIENCE and ITS KNOWLEDGE to be "foolishness period".
"It is to the glory of God to conceal a matter. It is to the glory of great men to search it out." is a Proverb which tells us about God's ENDORSEMENT OF SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION.
No, the Apostle Paul did NOT say that CALCULUS was foolishness. Nor does the Bible call medical science foolishness. Do I need to list all of the many things which the Bible praises as blessed by God (even though some Christians condemn them?) The Bible warns that some self-righteous ones would go about ranting "Unclean!" and "Do not touch!"
For discernment about what is foolishness, the Book of Proverbs tells us that "The fool MOCKS wisdom and knowledge." And "The mocker scorns instruction." Entire chapters of Proverbs PLEADS with the simpleton to "gain knowledge" and not to resist those who would teach you.
But just as the first century Pharisees attributed the wonderful works of God to SATAN instead, so do present-day Pharisees continue to mock that which God has done and that which God has declared good.
Of course, I hardly need to emphasize these well-known scriptures and what they say about FOOLS and the value of LEARNING ("instruction" in the KJV) --- because both Christians and non-Christians recognize the value of KNOWLEDGE and the folly of ignorance. It takes only a little discernment to recognize the foolishness of a LOVE OF IGNORANCE.
Dad, until you learn the meaning of EQUIVOCATION FALLACY, you'll continue to make those bombastic errors.
