I guess I sort of find it sad that there’s
some negative connotations forming about being “educated” or “intelligent”.

Merely because a person knows a lot about quantum mechanics or is an expert on
pottery from the Ming Dynasty doesn’t make them any wiser than an old hayseed
from Tennessee. I mean, wasn’t that the whole message in The Beverly
Hillbillies? ....and Green Acres....and The Andy Griffith show...and Mayberry
RFD... and Gomer Pyle... and... what was the message in Petticoat Junction??

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.”

I guess that’s right-- without that fear, there might be no impetus to
understand reality.

I hadn’t thought if it quite in that way. I believe it means more like: when
one acknowledges and respects the Creator, one is in a better position to
understand and comprehend their part in His creation.
