"For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe." (1 Corinthians 1:21)

Though man has been given the wisdom to find out many things and make great inventions, yet God has taken away mans ability by his own wisdom to know God. The way God has chosen to reveal himself and to save is through preaching. Man thinks it is foolish. But simply put in the words of the text, those that believe through the preached word are saved.
