Students at a major university were asked some 40 or
so years ago whether or not they thought God could really
understand what an atom was.

The general consensus was, "No".

No?

They (the students) could study and comprehend atoms, but
God could not. What a perfect illustration of the utterly
foolish pride of man this is.

The creator could not understand His creation. The sustainer
of all things could not know that which He sustained. How odd.

Psalm 147:4,5
He counts the number of the stars;
He calls them all by name.
Great is our Lord, and mighty in power;
His understanding is infinite.

Or, as the Westminster Catechism says in Question 4.

What is God?
God is a spirit, infinite, eternal and unchangeable, in his
being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness and truth.
