What kind of knowledge do we possess? As long as we are the creature and he is the Creator, as long as we are finite and he is infinite, there must be a basic distinction between our knowledge and his. Since he is the Creator, his knowledge is original, the archetype. Our knowledge, by contrast, is the ectype, meaning it is derivative and a copy, only a likeness of the original. It is an imitation of his knowledge, which is what one would expect since we are made in his image.
