Perfectly fine. When you read a passage about the revolutions of celestial bodies. Do you think "it's really cool how god could have made the universe like that" or "it's really cool how this hidden knowledge is revealed to us by god". Would you then tell your friends about the cool passage in the book as a useful metaphor for a deism, or would you say that this passage could not be conceived by mortals, and thus we have proof of the "hand of god"
Is it revealed truth, or not?

I agree.
