Er....two points...

But I think it is correct that we can't (at least for now, as far as we understand) 100% know anything. I mean we "know gravity" and its so close to certain that its 100% right we might as well say it is. But we don't really 100% know. We think we 100% know and we understand it as such. Just as God could suddenly strike me with lightning and cause earthquakes and have Satan rise from hell...just as that. Gravity could suddenly stop. Its scientifically impossible, which means scientifically as close to impossible as you can get. Its as close to certain as almost certain can be scientifically. Basically since the beginning of the existence of gravity this has been the case. For billions and billions of years. But its possible (just almost certainly as minutely possible as possible, totally smallest possibility ever, almost certainly), for gravity to stop. because we don't know the future! So as far as we know we can't 100% absolutely know anything, for ourselves. We can just be almost entirely certain, that we have God the absolute truth correct.
Quote:Moreover atheism even retreats before them saying that it is only "almost " certain that God does not exist.Because, for as I have explained above, atm as far as we know, thats the way it is, scientifically. How could we 100% disprove God? We can't (atm at least, and I'm not sure if we ever will be able to, who knows?). Its Russell's Teapot! It would actually be unscientific to claim that we can or have 100% absolutely disproved God when as far as we know so far, according to evidence and probability, we can't and haven't. So its not a retreat if its the scientific truth!
