One may argue that medical science, technology, industry, etc are good products of the Pursuit Of Knowledge.   

Yes, humanity has made life easier and extended life spans via the Pursuit Of Knowledge.   

However, man is primarily a spirit being who has a soul and a body.   The advances mentioned above have only served to enhance the body and, to some extent, the soul of man.   

Since we are primarily spirit, such advances have left us spiritually immature while empowering us to live out that immaturity in our body and soul.   

The Pursuit Of Knowledge by philosophers has actually served to derail humanity.   It has tried to supplant the notion of a Creator and Law Giver, leaving its adherents adrift - lost, without purpose and fatalistic.   

So, I conclude that the Pursuit Of Knowledge is at best over-rated and at worst a foolish distraction, a dead-end road.   

Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 2Ti 3:7 The knowledge of the Truth is a personal relationship with Christ via the Holy Spirit.      Many people know about Jesus.     Some even know what He said and did.     But knowledge about Christ Jesus is not the knowledge of the Truth that this verse is speaking of.      Knowledge of the Truth comes by faith in the Word of the Lord concerning Jesus.     That faith produces Eternal Life in the believer on the authority of the Lord's Word Rom 10:17 Rom 10:10.      In the secular realm, knowledge is the end all.     Disciplines are contrived in which knowledge is pursued.     However, without the correct assumptions, a discipline or thread of knowledge is merely an intellectual game having no connection at all to Truth.      The acknowledgement of the Creator must be assumption number one.     Otherwise, the pursuit is the pursuit of a fool.     Pro 1:7 Pro 9:10 Psm 14:1 Psm 53:1 Rom 1:21

The Pursuit Of Truth is another matter.   Many have asked the question: 'What is truth?'.   

The Lord Jesus Christ, who is our Creator and Law Giver and Saviour, is Truth.   

Jesus says unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me. Joh 14:6 Jesus is the Holy Spirit in flesh.     It is necessary to believe this about Jesus in order to be Born Again of the Holy Spirit.     Those who reject Jesus, reject the Holy Spirit.         → He is the Way: Jesus is the path to our Creator.         → He is the Truth: Jesus is the Truth about our Creator    → He is the Life: Jesus is the Creator by His Holy Spirit who fills us giving us life.      As disciples of Christ we must share this Gospel Truth with everyone in our lives.      It will either be a testimony for them leading to Eternal Life with Christ or a testimony against them in The Judgment leading to Eternal Death in the Lake Of Fire.     Act 4:12 Rev 20:12,15

Rather than pursuing secular knowledge we aught to be pursuing Truth.   That is found in Christ Jesus through hearing, believing, receiving and doing His Word by the power of His Holy Spirit.   

May we come to our senses and recognize that the Pursuit Of Knowledge was what caused Adam and Eve to partake of the Forbidden Fruit.
