Interesting question!
I have more follow-ups if that’s okay!
Quote:I'd say: the knowledge that I'm not wise or smart enough to answer the big questions.
Other than the existence of god, are there any other questions that you would place in this distinct, “big” category? Also, you seem to be implying that with enough wisdom and intelligence, one could arrive at the correct answer to the question, “does a god exist?” Is that correct?
Quote:That far smarter people have believed things that are different.
Do you mean to say that highly intelligent individuals have disagreed on the existence of god? How does intelligence relate to the search for the answer to the question, “does a god exist?”
Quote:That any individual, even in the Internet age, lives in a very restricted intellectual "belief environment" (what Foucault called an "episteme").
Does that mean it’s impossible for people to arrive at true conclusions? You seem to be saying, “we can’t ever really know anything, so why even try?” Is that an accurate reflection of your position? If so, do you hold that position regarding knowledge in general, or just knowledge about the existence of god?
