Secular learning enhances one's capacity to comprehend the things of God. God created the physical world. So, in effect, if one does not come to understand physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology, history, language, the arts, and all other branches of knowledge, then there is something of God that cannot be understood.
Some may argue that secular knowledge is relative, imprecise, imperfect, incomplete when compared with the knowledge of God. To this argument I would state that the process of learning these imperfect things is the very process by which our own, individual knowledge is perfected, increases, evolves, and we become as God. As He knows all things, both the perfect and the imperfect, it becomes us also to learn as much as we can, the Holy Spirit guiding us into all truth, that we, in turn, may become as He is.
