Not really sure what your question is? Is it what do we believe? I my self am a passionate follower of Jesus Christ! Do I believe that worldy wisdom is from satan? Yes and no. I think that there are some things that may be considered worldly wisdom that actually can only come from God. Like doctors. God is the ultimate physician and I believe he gave the wisdom to help people physically to doctors so they can help people.
If I understood what you were asking better I could put in my thoughts more.

A good example of the futility and weakness of the worlds wisdom verses the strength and assurance of Gods wisdom would be in the two following statements:
1) Worlds wisdom - "What goes around, comes around"
2) God's wisdom - "What ever a man sows (plant) that shall he also reap (harvest).
No matter if it's love, justice, or pain the world says that you get exactly what you put out. But if you really take a look at it, you can see that this statement is a lie. If someone causes another pain then the pain that comes back to them is always much more than the pain given in the first place. For example, a man cheats on his wife and causes her pain. The wife then divorces the husband and sues his pants off!! However, God's superior wisdom says that whatever seed or thing you plant you will reap the harvest or multiplication of that seed in the end. This defines the example above much more than the worlds wisdom ever could. Examples can also be seen in charitable gifts and/or investments as a seed sown and the multiplication of it harvested, loving-kindness sown in a marriage and a life long happy marriage is harvested, and faith in Christ Jesus sown with everlasting life through Jesus Christ harvested.

Worldly wisdom is sort of thinking we know it all when we don't. As in my favorite saying, "Think no more of yourself than you have too, but think so as to have a sound mind." That may not fit, but I had to say it. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do or I couldn't help myself. Worldly wisdom is like saying, "All we need is more bombs." Things like that. Or philosophers saying, "What is truth." when we all know that they fine you and put you in jail if you don't tell the whole truth.and nothing but. Worldly wisdom is saying, planned obsolescence is good for the economy instead of it's a lie we told about our product. I suppose there are one or two more. Kind of the educated idiot syndrome. God's wisdom is truth, kind of like proved science. I hope that helps with your project.

You assume that there is a God. With a little thought you would see that the existence of God is not necessary. You might say that my wisdom is worldly or of satan, but I would argue that worldly wisdom is all that we know to exist. Your interpretation of the Bible is an interpretation through worldly wisdom.

In God's wisdom there is a clear path. Where as in the thought of worldly wisdom there are so many ways. and some many of them lead to dead ends. The clear path leads to inner peace. --shyfrog

Would someone explain what "Worldly" means?
I'm inspired to seek wisdom through various avenues, some of which are nature and biology. If God created the world, why is it "demonic" if I learn from and am inspired by what's on and in it?

Where did you come up with that?
Exactly what "worldly wisdom" do you consider to be of "Satan"? Would that be to not kill? Because that's certainly not from God. I can quote hundreds of Bible passages telling you to kill. You are supposed to kill those who work on the Sabbath, kill children who disobey their parents, kill all people of differing religious beliefs, etc. To not hate? Sure, the Bible talks about love, but that's only for those who share your beliefs. Everyone else you're supposed to kill.
What exactly is "God's wisdom", pray tell? Maybe you can enlighten us all about what "wise" things God says that we meek little Earthlings aren't perfectly capable of figuring out on our very own?

James 3:13 Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom. 14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. 15 This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. 16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. 17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. 18 And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

Worldly wisdom = Of science, logic, reason, experience and freedom of discovery.
God' 'wisdom' = To inspire fear in people, to gain control and power, unproven.
