Of course not.  For a very long time, the most educated people were the priests, and even today the clergy is still among the most well educated people.  Judaism, in particular, places emphasis on learning.

Besides, faith and knowledge are very different things.  It is possible to be a very learned man in science, but still have a deep faith in G-d.  Frankly, the more I learn, the more faith I have.  I see all the wonders of the world, and it just reinforces my belief that everything was created by a higher power, and not by some random accident.
