No shit, Sherlock. Anyone who limits God to a book written by mankind is limiting God. Sure, you're free to believe it was inspired by God, but let's not forget a man actually wrote each section and mankind is a flawed instrument at best.
Consider these ideas: Is there any doubt God created man with a brain? If so, then isn't the expectation that man would use that gift?
God created the Universe and all the natural laws that govern it. Isn't studying God's creation divine work?
If God is all powerful, all knowing and all merciful, then God could have imprinted any special knowledge such as the Bible onto our brains or written it in the stars. This didn't happen. Two reasons why could be 1) God doesn't exist or 2), as I believe, part of the puzzle is to figure out on our own.
The purpose of school is to teach children. What can they learn if they are given all the answers or some kids are treated more special than other kids? I doubt God would be that unmerciful.

The ‘reasonable person’ argument isn’t very scientific. I don’t see how a reasonable person could ignore the circumstantial evidence for a lab leak of the CCP virus. Neither does Jon Stewart.
Since we can’t run the interfertility test, how do we know that Homo erectus and Homo sapiens are two different species? A leap of faith?

How do you manage to stay so uninformed?
Regardless of it’s origin, the CCP lied to the world about human to human transmission while they allowed their nationals to board international flights. Oddly, the same thing that would be done had the virus been engineered and released as a bio weapon.
China was the only entity that could have kept it confined within China. And, for whatever reasons, they didn’t.
But again, the point is there is *already* sufficient grounds to blame the CCP for the pandemic. But our leaders lack the balls to do it, so yeah.

The purpose of schools is *education* but that’s another can of worms.
We are created in the image of God with brains that far surpass anything else found in nature. Even dolphins don’t almost nearly discover Algebra or any of the other things that are *uniquely* human.
There’s not a gap between man and his nearest competitor in brain power—it’s more of a gaping chasm. Evolution isn’t supposed to work that way, right? What do you deduce from that?
And absolutely, our brains were given to us to use.
But none of this proves man had a less evolved ancestor or gives the slightest clue about how life arose from lifeless chemistry. *Assuming* it can or ever did. It only demonstrates that the ‘God theory’ is very much alive and well even in the 21st century.
Darwin would be surprised.
