I think we often forget this. Christ was there at creation, think how many thousands of years that is. The world was created and run with this divine mind and it has never changed. In the Lord's Prayer Christ says it is the kingdom, the power and the glory. The plan of our salvation was in place at the beginning, and the only change we have seen is when Christ completed that plan. He never changed it a bit, it was always in place, but Christ completed it. We can even look at it when it was in it's infant state, when animal sacrifice and priests were used, so we can see better the completed plan and what Christ replaced.
Our most brilliant men who have lived on this earth are only brilliant as they understand God's operational plans. If they also understand these are plans put in place by God and are eternal ways our earth works, they are most true to reality.
On secular TV I saw a documentary about a doctor TV said was so brilliant we needed to see how he managed. The key, this doctor said, to the achievements he made in his field were due to prayer. This on secular TV! Every morning, and at 10:00, 12:00, and 3:00 this man put on a prayer shawl over his head because, he said, it helped him shut out the world so he was only with God, and he listened. He timed each session at 15 minutes.
