I'll accept that God's Wisdom trumps man's Wisdom. I don't understand the point of the quote about the destruction of man's "wisdom" or the definition of "wisdom" for the purpose of the quote.

Further, I don't know what point you are making with respect to science vs. creationism. Is the quote that "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent" intended to bolster an argument that the research and learning and wisdom of scientists is wrong and that the research and learning and wisdom of theologians is correct? I'm just lost. What is the intent of the quotation?

Actually, the quote, when taken in context, was an attack against the false religious doctrin being taught at the time.

That is why I laughed and was more than happy to reply to that quote.

I guess we can't be right about everything:

"I agree. They'll go with insane. After all, how could anyone in their right mind do this? At least, that will be the thinking."

Truth is absolute and it will be revealed when the trial is over.
