I can see how that could happen, but for myself there exists no contradiction. I think that maybe it might come into play if you believe you are studying God himself, as if he is limited by his creation, That is certainly not true. God has no limits.
Let me try to expand my thought further:
God is not defined by his creation, He defined the creation, to study his creation is not to study or define God, it is to study and define his creation, his word written down across the universe.
I’m sure there are those here that could explain it better than that, I’m just try to put together my initial thoughts.
"I can see how that could happen, but for myself there exists no contradiction.
