worldly wisdom

i'm going through a devos book and it was talking about worldly wisdom and in 1 Corinthians 1:18 it says "For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God." (NIV)

We watched a vid in froshcell and at the end you have a guy on the radio sort of debating with a lady about Christianity, which really reminded me of a huge chain at uts about religion, and it is kind of sad to me when i see these things and hear what people think of God and how they perceive Christianity to be so ..negative and as the verse says, foolish.

Later in verse 21 it says "For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him" It's just kinda heart breaking because we're blinding ourselves with knowledge but that will never satisfy and as Solomon says in Ecclesiastes it's like "chasing afer the wind"... so like for all the non-believers where i think to myself "wow they are sooo smart"... but now it's like "and then what?"

random thoughts after devos... i wonder if this is also applicable to a studying sense? =\
