Yeah but he was asking God things he didn't know apparently and getting things like specific Bible verses O.O
There is a psychological process (I can't remember what it is called) where victims of trauma or grief recall events they've been told about as though they were there, when in fact they were not. A child may say, for instance, "Remember when mommy/daddy done this or that?", even though they were not present at the event in question. These associated memories are the brain's way of coping with trauma. In the same way, we often attribute that which we learn after an event, to the actual event itself. I had an experience once where I thought I saw someone I knew on a bus. The next day I learned that this person had committed suicide. In my mind I constructed a scenario where I had thought it couldn't be her because she had committed suicide. The reason that I know I added this detail later is, had I had this vision on the day that I thought I saw the person, I would have been very unsettled on that day. However, it wasn't until I learned of the woman's suicide that I felt unsettled and fabricated this event in my mind.
