The discussion also distinguishes human choice and effort from the divine creation of knowledge. A person chooses to examine evidence or conduct an experiment, but this is not the same question as the ultimate creation of knowledge and its occurrence.
Two questions must be separated: by what route did a person obtain knowledge, and what is its ultimate ontological dependence? The former concerns epistemology and acquisition; the latter concerns divine agency.
Confusing them either obscures responsible human inquiry or treats ordinary means as independent creators of knowledge.
