Since the world itself is created by God, in the creation the creature man is given the possibility to comprehend the creation in its limits, to recognize and to use regularities and to plant own Gardens; and this not only in the area of the artifacts, but since Vico also in the area of the symbols.
The production of more and more manufacturing knowledge is no longer illicit Curiosity (curiositas), but at the same time admiration of creation and worship of God. But this reference to the super agent God is only a justification. It might satisfy theologians and keep them from intervening; but it reveals nothing about the structure of this theory, nothing about the meaning of its "just so", nothing about the advantage of this detour from making to knowing.

A modern theory, already classical today, known by names such as Francis Bacon or Giambattista Vico, had worked with the distinction between cognition and action and maintained that man could only cognize what he himself could produce.
