If nature has no other qualities beyond being nature then nature is not God.
I'll get back to you on the knowledge question, VL, and I acknowledge that it was a tall order. You don't necessarily have to defend what you think knowledge is in order to describe it. It would seem elementary that in order to say that you don't have knowledge concerning a proposition, you would have to know what does qualify as knowledge. It would seem some definition of knowledge is necessary in order to make the claim in negativo. But more to the point, you seemed to suggest that knowledge is absent if certain questions of probability are answered in the negative. I would have to ask you two questions on that basis. One, how is probability related to knowledge, and two, if knowledge is related to probably, as you seem to be suggesting, can we ever satisfy that condition?
