God created us to be clever, surely that includes using logic and science to learn about the world.

The argument can be made that since God created humanity in their image that we’re all just fledgling gods with the big difference being our lack of immortality. We’re just not long lived enough as individuals to reach God’s level of power and insight. We are who God created us to be, logic and science included so If we don’t kill ourselves off we may eventually reach a collective godhood, or something akin to it, as a species.

I’m not saying I believe that argument, I’m just pointing out that it’s there because it supports your point.
