i agree with most of that. except, then that would basically make the word “invent” meaningless, right? if it’s all from hashem then, how can you say it wasn’t “invented” till the last hundred years?
i even have a simple answer: you can’t.
i don’t know what chazal knew, and i never read shlomo hamelech’s mind, but you can’t say that Whoever wrote that Shlomo Hamelech “knew the science behind all these inventions” must have lived recently, in the past hundred years, when all of “these inventions” were invented. He couldn’t have lived before , he would not have known which inventions he was talking about .
that would mean that human beings created science and someone is lacking in his belief in hashem.
if that someone meant something else, he might like to rephrase that. because that is pure herecy.
