Why atheism cannot escape absolute truth

[robvalue]

The sceptic atheist normally takes the position that although there are facts about the universe, we can never be 100% sure we actually know any of those facts. It's called intellectual honesty. It's admitting the limitations of our own ability to assess the environment. It leaves the door open to always discovering mistakes, and improving what we consider to be our best pool of knowledge.

Some theists simply announce that instead of this, they do have complete certainty in God, or whatever. This doesn't stop them being wrong, it just means they have closed their mind and surrendered their integrity.

Christain: "I'm certain God exists and it is Yahweh."

Muslim: "I'm certain God exists and it is Allah."

Even between these two, at least one of them is certain yet wrong.
