I find this article puzzling. Yes, God knows all and it is therefore not surprising that the Bible should appear to foreshadow some scientific discoveries. But there seems to be a confusion. The Bible was written for an ancient nomadic people and so does not speak in the language of modern science. Likewise it is not a manual for building a computer or how to get to the moon. Furthermore while God, as Creator, has absolute knowledge, humanity through science, philosophy, the arts, etc. gradually, overtime reveals more and more about creation. The article needs to more clearly acknowledge human imperfection and that science is fallible, while still being part of God's plan. The idea that if a scientist is an atheist his science is bad is problematic. Think about it. Do we only accept technology or medical procedures developed by Christians." God moves in mysterious ways his wonders to perform" (William Cowper).--[[User:RobLeonardWoo|RobLeonardWoo]] ([[User talk:RobLeonardWoo|talk]]) 18:07, August 6, 2022 (EDT)

:Maybe the argument is failure to acknowledge God's sovereignty contaminates everything. Sure, someone may argue, "What about Prof. such-and-such who discovered treatment for XYZ disease? He was an atheist."  That has to be measured against him (or they) being held up as a role model for God deniers and God haters, and the damage human [[pride]] has done to the species.
