It wrong to live for degrees and money. People that live to prove their worth through how much money they make or whether they can publish some kind of research intending to prove their worth to themselves are shallow people and they will have a harmful impact on society. It is necessary to have a balanced end to seat the will and the intellect be aimed not at the preoccupations of the ego but towards understanding those near and far and everything else. Knowledge is different from an academic specialization, it is something very human, intertwined with love.
To reduce knowledge to pride is to cheapen it and turn something that is holy into an empty egotistical exercise. The intellect is a beautiful thing, created not to apprehend itself but the beauty which brought it into being.
I do not think learning is the same as letting God guide you. The modern world comes through Christians in education and research in instutions that were founded in many cases to train people in ministry.
You corrected my 55% (which was from a Gallup poll) with a 51%. That is 4% difference...
