Proverbs 3:5

Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding
In other words, don't think for yourself, just take god's word for it. How is this seeking truth? OR is does definition of seeking truth mean simply asking god for the answer?

Well, a possible response might go like this:

Proverbs 3 isn't saying "don't ever try to understand things", or "never make judgments/evaluations based on your own understanding". It's talking about what you should fundamentally orient your life around--more like, "Don't think that you've got everything figured out already. Be willing to be changed/lead by the Lord".
Well that's your/your churches interpretation of it anyway.
"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful" - Edward Gibbon (Offen misattributed to Lucius Annaeus Seneca or Seneca the Younger) (Thanks to apophenia for the correction)
'I am driven by two main philosophies:
Know more about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you' - Neil deGrasse Tyson
"Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it." - Mark Twain
