Proverbs 1:7 “What makes knowledge profitable?”

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.”
Knowledge profits nothing if one does not fear the Lord. Knowledge without a reverence toward God is not useful and leads only to false conclusions and pride. This is seen so well in the belief of evolution. Anyone looking at a building would say it had a designer. But the same person, looking at the human body which is much more complex than a building, will say it happen by chance. Why? Because they do not fear the Lord and despise wisdom and instruction. They have made themselves out to be fools because they do not fear the Lord.
