Also, it is experience that teaches us how to apply our knowledge. Reality has a way of tempering 'knowledge', and it can be difficult to merge the two.

Caveat: I believe in learning something new every day, so I treasure knowledge and encourage all to seek it. Just understand that raw knowledge (information/data) is only useful when we have a known pattern to view it in, it is that experience which gives that knowledge usefulness to us.

Peace.
Our experience, which we use to teach us how to apply "knowledge", is knowledge in itself. Knowledge doesnt have to be about knowing the equation to explain the universe and all that happens in it, it can be as simple as knowing how to read, knowing how to breathe, or anything else that you can apply the word knowing to, bam, theres knowledge.

Now knowledge isnt neccessarily right or wrong. A person can know something, and know it wrong, just as easily as they can know something and have it be right.

PureEvil knows that there is a God(s). It matters little if he is right or wrong, that is his knowledge, everything he does is based upon it. You cant base something in your life on something you dont know, you dont know it, so it cant have an effect on your life by your decision.
