The creator and guide of man, made him (man) and engineered him (man) ready to understand and comprehend a comprehension greater than that of the ministering angels. Our Rabbis of blessed memory have already stated ( Bereishit Rabbah 17) "He (G-d) said to them (angels), 'His (man's) wisdom is greater than yours!' And when he so chooses understanding (G-d) in his manner, G-d will lead him to an understanding that grasps until the highest heavens, ideas that power the world, ideas that have been hidden by The Ancient of Days."
