Sure, but nobody here, or anywhere really, is claiming that science knows everything there is for it to know right now. There will always be new vistas of discovery for science, and the possibility of resolving those unknowns in the future; that's why the argument from ignorance is so fallacious, it assumes that we know everything we possibly can right this second, and that there's only one thing beyond that knowledge. But science doesn't know everything yet, and it will know more tomorrow than it does today; doesn't that make "I don't know" answers just as valid for us as they are for you?
Yes they do.
Quote:Its a whole different ball game, whole new standards; goodness, HE makes the standards; he IS the standard; its what a god does! Were not going to ever know everything about god! I mean this being IS life! IS power! IS law! We can't limit him, define him, constrain him, figure him out, we can't interview him, see him, hear him speak,
such a being REDUCES us to " I don't know."
So then how do you know anything about him at all, if you can't define him? Isn't just calling it "him" defining him? After all, you've now defined him as male and not female, right?
He is not male or female, he is not human. And we know about him by what knowledge has been provided by every knowledge avialible to us.
