My friend James asked me after reading THE WISDOM OF SOLOMON what I thought would be Solomon's favorite Bible verse? Remember that Solomon is an alien space craft! This is my response.
Solomon’s favorite Bible verse is Proverbs 1:7 which reads, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. Fools despise wisdom and instruction.” You have to understand that Solomon’s AI (artificial intelligence) allows recognition and adaptation to any and all situations and environments, but he was originally programmed for surveillance of his captain and to document what occurred during their voyages. Solomon tells Rob that he seeks wisdom, but his only purpose is to obtain the means to return to his home planet Herzog, so that he might keep a promise to his captain, and he is willing to be devious and untruthful in his dealings with Rob.
However, after teaming up with Solomon, Rob immediately begins to introduce Christian principles to Solomon, starting with the suggestion that Solomon read the Bible. Solomon agrees with the intention of gaining the wisdom of King Solomon, thinking that it will be the ticket to finding the way back to Herzog. Solomon assimilated the teachings of Jesus and immediately his AI began to adapt to the true wisdom of God’s teachings. He began to see the need for love, compassion and forgiveness and it changed his “life” as it does for humans that read and believe.
