If you really believe the Bible is against seeking wisdom and doesn't teach reason, you got some skewed views.
Link to Verses
Out of the many verses about knowledge and wisdom I like:
James 3:13-18 ESV
Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. ...
Secondly, Nomad, that's emphatically wrong. Benjamin Sisko was never a captain of a ship or enterprise and thus isn't eligible for the contest. Real captains boldly go, not sit in their little space station. Even Janeway was better than that

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
