What is the square root of 289? What was the capital of West Germany in 1972? What does the word "mesonoxian" mean?
(The answer are 17, Bonn, and "pertaining to midnight", respectively) If you were asked to answer these questions on the spot, they would all take a certain level of knowledge and intelligence to answer.
Intelligence is something that many people pride themselves in, or at the very least, desire to have. No one desires to look dumb or silly; from school into adult lives, we are exhorted to have intelligent discussions and debates.
Over the course of our lives, we can learn a lot, and some people manifest a lot of intelligence. But, even the smartest person on earth doesn't know everything. As smart, clever, and intelligent as humans can become, we will never know everything. But the same does not hold true for our God. William Plumer states, "God is omniscient. His knowledge is infinite from His all-seeing eye... His knowledge embraces all plans, all truths, all systems. God can neither learn nor forget anything." God not only had the power to bring everything into existence, but He also had the wisdom and intelligence to do so. God alone knows everything, because it is bu Him and through Him every laws of nature was created. It is by God and through God that every even of history came to pass. Through Him every future event will come to pass. God alone knows all things, because it is through God alone that all things were created.
