And thus, if the atheist was successful in finding truth, they would find the Christian God.
If the scientist was to one day know all, they would come to the conclusion of the Christian God.

Ray, I respect the fact that your beliefs are a core aspect of your identity: they make you individually unique. However, out of curiosity, is it any less valid for a scientist to say the following: those who seek truth and find truth, regardless of whether it be through skepticism, science, or faith,  will ultimately arrive at some scientific fact or observation? Or, put another way, if the theist succeeded in finding truth and became all-knowing, then he would ultimately find science?
That has been my experience and it's inherent in the original function of the word "faith", Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen.
"Leave it to me to find a way to be,
Consider me a satellite forever orbiting,
I knew the rules but the rules did not know me, guaranteed." - Eddie Vedder
