STATE PREMISE: Mankind observes events probabilistically, (empirical uncertainty principle. Also, recall that you “theists” see yourselves as NON-OMNISCIENT).

ASK: You claim to believe or know the existence of God to be TRUE/ABSOLUTE, BUT, how do you know truth/absoluteness is possible?
.

We know God exists because for those who seek Him, He reveals Himself. In that each one of us has the oppertunity to personally see or witness God.

Your 'ask' forgoes the personal relationship Christianity is all about. It wrongly assumes all we can know of God is/was only written down in scripture, and therefore projected forward into the present and future..


This encompasses the uncertainty principle, showing that humans observe things probabilistically (empirically observed science, ie the same science that built your computer).

Simply, you claim that the existence of God is true, (SCRIPTURE OR NOT) without asking whether or not truth is possible.

....
By failing to follow my initial post, (which states that humans are NOT OMNISCIENT OF ANY EVENT) you in contrast appear to claim omniscience.

Otherwise, how are you aware that absolutes/truth is possible (ie the existence of god is TRUE/ABSOLUTE), without being able to detect absolutes yourself?
