Hardly. Both results and approaches are produced by the human mind.

I agree that Descartes put theology and witchcraft out there together as a sub-branch on the tree of philosophy. That has been the big reveal for philsophy students at universities in the west for the last 500 years.(where other branches of the tree of knowledge were mathematics, physics biology, etc..)They became the categories for our university system—and largely the reason for the slow intergenerational death of religion in the West.

I do not think that Descartes is correct, however.

Theology and philosophy are ontologically different.

Theology does not belong on the Descartes philosopher’s tree.

Genesis put the Tree of Knowledge and the Tree of Life as different trees in the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve walked in the Garden

God created all of it.
