noun: omniscience

the state of knowing everything.

I like mine better--it defines 'knowing everything' more precisely. Mine also avoids logical contradiction that your simplistic one does not.

You do know that there are books written the subject that you think you can define in 5 words. Don't you think there might be a little more to tease out?

So then tell us, Steve: How should one navigate through a discussion (with any intellectual honesty, that is) regarding the most accurate definition, and truest description of the nature of such a hypothetical attribute, when the only hypothetical being it has ever been ascribed to can't be demonstrated to exist in the first place?

Maybe afterwords we can have a hearty debate over the exact mechanisms behind Earth's yellow sun making Superman more powerful than a locomotive, eh?

Wiser words were never spoken.
