Telepathic Intruder: "...Can you understand Picasso by studying his paintings?
Very often the artist himself is very different than what his creations portray."

Very nicely said, thanks!

However, to contradict myself, I do think you can know the mind of God to some degree by observing nature (not by studying it scientifically). I think God did invest himself somewhat in his creation. In the Bible, David came to know God in this way. I think I did a little as well.
