Then why the dig at atheists for having a bunch of "I don't knows" and a "huge list of assumptions without the possibility of ultimate answers?"  You definitely give off the vibe that there is something wrong with admitting you're unable to answer something.

My response was in response to the charge that I was "redefining best and redefining explanation". I was pointing out the irony as far as explanations go. 

Quote:Give me an example of something you don't know, and I guarantee it will really just be that you believe that god did it, you just don't claim to know how.  That's not the same as recognizing there are questions you'll never be able to answer.

You can guarantee that because you are simply defining a theist (which you know I am). I am not a YEC so I do not know how life came about and how man was created. I will never be able to answer that question (unless somehow science can tell us).

Lol, you're a Christian.  Your religion is a textbook example of tossing intellectual integrity out the window.  Feels over reals, as the kids say.

You paint with a broad brush. While plenty of Christians do not know why they believe x, y or z, there are those that do and are ready with an answer. To think differently, I would say you are guilty of ignoring the highest standards of discourse and debate--that of respecting those you disagree with and consider their views in the best charitable light.
