You mean how something came from nothing? Do tell.

Knowledge, i.e. either you know or don't know, its a dichotomy, unless your unfamiliar with P^~P=false, if so, Ill give you a beating, so you know the difference between being in pain and not in pain. You mabe had a point, if the only Pssible belief for our existence is your god, yet you fail, and fail badly to understand this.

Oh really? Ok..let's examine what you said:

I reject the claim that its possible to know of god and reject claim that it exists

So, here is your argument:

1. We can't know if God exists
2. God doesnt exist

See how it doesn't follow? If you can't know if He does exist, you also can't know if He doesn't. So therefore, you cannot conclude that God doesn't exist because it isn't possible to know if He does or not.

If you want a dichotomy, you can reduce the question down to something simple like,

Did the Universe have an intelligent causation?

From there, we can define what that might be. Inevitably, it will be God.
