Yet you're pretending like in order to -know- that something exists, you have to first quantify it, which is nonsense.I can privately claim to "know" a great many things,but without a way to quantify it it remains private knowledge, and not at all like other sorts of knowledge. God botherers know their god is real too...they just have trouble quantifying it.
