You have a real problem with reading comprehension. I never said God would be unknowable. There are a thousand things we know about God.
Yes you did.

And the reason it is important is because you claim that your god is the best (sometimes only excellent) explanation:

b. God is the best explanation of the origin of the universe.
c. God is the best explanation of the fine-tuning of the universe for intelligent life.
d. God is the best explanation of intentional states of consciousness.
e. God is the best explanation of objective moral values and duties.
So how can your god be the best (or excellent) explanation if it is completely or partially unknowable?
You are wanting your cake and eat it. Is your god the best explanation or is it only partially unknowable?
