From the KJB (Timothy 6:20):

O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:

From the NKJB (Timothy 6:20):

O Timothy! Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge

Paul, writing through the Holy Spirit, warned Timothy about “profane and idle babblings” and “contradictions” falsely calling themselves “knowledge” aka “science”. The Holy Spirit understands the problem we have today, where what we think is knowledge or science is actually not really knowledge. Knowledge is only really “knowledge” when it is proven true. Science today relies on theories that are composed of evidence, but no established facts. Paul via the Holy Spirit urges us to avoid it, perhaps because the Holy Spirit knew that eventually these profane and idle babblings and contradictions would be used against the knowlege of God and the validity of the Bible.

If you look up the word “profane” you will see that it is used to describe the nature of the attack:

Sinfulness or sacrilege, acts which violate the sacred or the good. (Wikipedia)

Science certainly has been used in this manner.

The next word that is interesting is the word “idle” or “vain”. The use of this word implies that the people using Science are doing because they think they have nothing better to do (ie. doing what one is paid to do) or for vain reasons, to enhance their own social standing.

The last word used is “contradictions”. This implies that this “knowledge” frequently contradicts itself. Proponents will simply say that this is the normal progression of science as it is performed over a period of time. The fact is, that these contradictions are simply evidence that what is being offered as “knowledge” is actually really NOT knowledge, because knowledge does not contradict itself.

Lastly I would conclude that we as Christians are to recognise this false “knowledge” for what it is, seeing the contradictions, the vanity and the profane nature of the “knowledge”. By recognizing it, we can avoid it, and not allow it to shipwreck our faith!
