I think a much more real sense of wisdom is the unflinching belief in a son of God that was executed and then resurrected days later only to become, well something, after that.
Of course getting the sun to stand still and several foot thick walls to come tumbling down with the blowing of trumpets is certainly a much more civilized belief. Then again a good old Red Sea parting or the casual walk on water befits the cerebral capacities of a civilized culture and people much better than falling beavers from the sky for crying out loud.
Did I mention a virgin giving birth?

Much homage is paid to Native Americans and their wisdom. Is the wisdom
deserving of such reverence?
I give you this:
In the beginning, the Cherokee believed that the earth was covered with water
and that beavers came from the sky to drag the mud from the oceans bottom and
bring it to the top. The beavers then attached it to the sky and created the
land. The "great buzzard" now flew to the ground where he flapped his wings
while the valleys and mountains were formed. It was on one of these flights
that the "great buzzard" created the land on which the Cherokees lived.
