It is interesting that science -the wisdom which is proudly boasted of by contemporary secular mankind- is utterly incapable of penetrating the mysteries of God. It reminds me of 1 Corinthians 1:20; “Where is the wise man (the philosopher)? Where is the scribe (the scholar)? Where is the investigator (the logician, the debater) of this present time and age? Has not God shown up the nonsense and the folly of this world’s wisdom?”
It is like God has purposely orchestrated things that just
when man reaches a zenith in scientific understanding, that God makes this
understanding to be utterly incapable of probing spiritual things. God is
purposely withholding from man the knowledge that man wishes not to possess. Man
arrogantly desires that no God exist, therefore God makes man’s knowledge so
impotent that it can not find Him.
Not at any stage prior to modern history has the philosophy of
mankind been so narrow and myopic as to deny the existence of spiritual things.
The greatest thinkers in history all recognised the spiritual realm as well as
giving credence to some form of deity which does impregnate all life with purpose
and design.
But the ungodly secular man, intoxicated by the success of the technological
wonders that his hands have wrought, fills himself with vain pride and
considers him to be a god unto himself capable of directing his own destiny.
Full of such haughty pride, modern man thinks himself worthy of ascending the lofty
heights of heaven to crown himself as the only god.
But having placed himself so precariously high in the
heavens as the divine pinnacle of all understanding, it will not be until the dizzying
vertigo of these rarefied heights causes secular man to tumble back down to his
natural carnal habitat. It is only by realising the limited nature of mankind’s
understanding and the reality of the one true sovereign God, that mankind’s
philosophy will regain the discarded wisdom built up by the ancient generations
that have preceded us.
God exists, and it is only in knowledge of Him that man can
ever begin to have any understanding or wisdom (Proverbs 9:10).
