Pretty straight forward. Nothing to fuzz about
Yeah, sometimes this kind of trick to translation doesn't work too well.

There's this play in French where there's a pretentious character who tries to impress with his lore, and he says something like:

Omnis a Deo scientia. Omnis: All. A Deo: Science. Scientia: Comes from God. All science comes from God.

(bonus points to any non-Frenchman who identifies the play)
