Well, kudos for admitting that you'd rather make up answers than accept that certain things cannot be known. Maybe you can answer a question for which no one seems to have the solution. What is it about intellectual integrity that theists find so abhorrent? Why do you guys seem to think that acknowledging you don't know something is a weakness?
