For what purpose? His Word doesn't say that. That's an 'feel good' excuse to do want you want. We are to KNOW HIM as much as possible.

Proverbs 2:2-7 King James Version (KJV):
2)So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
3)Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
4)If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
5)Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
6)For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
7)He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.

Hosea 4:6(KJV)
6)My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

God provided man with a brain allowing him to abstract information from his environment. Not to use it would seem to me a sinful act.

That's your natural mind's interpretation. His word is spiritually discerned. We are to renew our natural mind to learn about HIM who we can't see.

Those Scriptures are for knowledge of HIM/HIS KINGDOM - not for our environment! We don't need to be taught what comes naturally as being interested in what we can 'see'.

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

You think God rejects those who have no idea about fossils, the sun/moon? LOL! Use your head for something other than a hatrack.
