Dr. David Obaromi Response to
“The Sovereignty of God and the Hierarchy of Knowledge……..”
I enjoy reading the concept of your thesis which tries to present an intricate perspective on the nature of human understanding, God’s sovereignty, and the role of engineers within a proposed hierarchy of knowledge. The repeated emphasis on recognising God’s sovereignty as the ultimate source of knowledge is a significant aspect of the write-up just at it accurately highlights the precision and clarity that characterize engineering work in applying practical solutions based on natural laws. I think there is an overgeneralisation in criticizing engineers for potentially neglecting higher-level reasoning.
The call for engineers to collaborate with those involved in higher-level reasoning is well-founded. However, the assertion that engineers are reluctant to collaborate may not be universally accurate.
I am quite impressed with your thought-provoking display of intelligence.

A Response to “The Sovereignty of God and the Hierarchy of Knowledge”: Embracing Collaboration and Recognizing Limitations
Dr. David Obaromi’s thoughtful response to Professor Isaac Megbolugbe’s article highlights the importance of acknowledging the sovereignty of God as the ultimate source of knowledge. While agreeing with the article’s emphasis on God’s sovereignty and the precision of engineering work, Dr. Obaromi cautions against overgeneralizing engineers’ reluctance to collaborate with those engaged in higher-level reasoning.
Dr. Obaromi acknowledges the value of Professor Megbolugbe’s call for engineers to collaborate with others, recognizing the benefits of integrating their work into the larger context of human understanding. However, he suggests that not all engineers are impervious to learning from others or neglectful of higher-level reasoning.
The article and response collectively emphasize the need for engineers to:
1. Recognize the sovereignty of God as the ultimate source of knowledge
2. Acknowledge their place within the hierarchy of knowledge
3. Collaborate with those engaged in higher-level reasoning
4. Integrate their solutions into the larger context of human understanding
By embracing this collaborative approach, engineers can transcend their limitations and contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of God’s design. As we acknowledge the hierarchy of knowledge and the sovereignty of God, we can work together to unravel the intricate tapestry of human understanding, revealing the divine beauty that underlies all creation.
