Our minds are a marvel of fantastic engineering. There is nothing like it in the universe. We are indeed “fearfully and wonderfully made.” This morning I was talking to a computer. It did not understand what I was trying to tell it. I was then given a real person. She had no problem understanding me. As powerful as our computers are, they do not “hold a candle” to our mental capacities. We have made a lot of powerful discoveries through analytical reasoning. We are enjoying great blessings that have been given to us using this method of reasoning. We have been able to do everything from designing cars to breaking the genetic code.

As great as our reasoning power is, it does have limits. We do not “hold a candle” to God and His angels. God “takes the wise in their own craftiness. The wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.”
There is a world of difference between knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge is what we know or think we know. Wisdom is how we use what we know in relationship to God and others. Those who think they can make wise choices without God are fooling themselves. “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things” (Romans 1:22-23).
Fool’s gold is iron sulfate (FeS2) with a molecular weight of 119.975. Gold (Au) has a molecular weight of 196.967. Gold weighs 1.64 times more than fool’s gold or iron pyrite. You can make fool’s gold in a chemistry lab. I have done it. There is a lot more fool’s gold than real gold. We cannot make real gold. It is a natural element. Fool’s gold is a cheap imitation for the real thing. Anyone can make fool’s gold. Only God can make real gold.
