“Education” can also stifle thought and creativity, we’ve certainly seen that in the history of religion and science. Einstein was a postal clerk. The most brilliant rabbis that I’ve ever read, were often men who never read anything but Torah and never left their small villages. Many Christian pastors never had any formal education whatsoever, but that never stopped the HS from using them.
No, Einstein was a patent examiner (because he couldn't get a teaching job).
Education can be stifling but it does come in handy sometimes.
Einstein started out as an amateur, but he was by no means uneducated. Very few people succeed in science with no background in science whatsoever.
The Holy Spirit chooses to work through many different kinds of people, however, to be able to write convincingly about the intersection of science and theology, the Holy Spirit moves credible people who are willing to undertake the years of work to actually understand what it is they’re writing about. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time, and the Holy Spirit doesn’t waste time.
So would you consider open heart surgery performed by an auto mechanic or fly in an aircraft designed and built by high school drop outs?
For the record, Albert Einstein was never a postal clerk. Following graduation with a degree in physics and mathematics Einstein worked for the Swiss Federal Office for Intellectual Property, the patent office, as an assistant examiner. He evaluated patent applications for electromagnetic devices.
