Assuming the theopneustos of Genesis 1 (in light of 2nd Timothy 3:16), I
personally don't feel that this distinction is warranted. What God did
in the "distant" past was what he related to the writer through the
inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The words chosen were not dependent on
what the writer could relate, but by what God wanted to say to mankind
throughout history. It was written for that audience and for us today.
God bless,
Paul
