Omniscience Argument Against God's Existence

Speaking of which, could you take a look at another of my arguments when you get the chance? http://atheistforums.org/thread-19833.html

Quote:But your argument commits a modal error in P2. To see this, we can make a distinction between two sorts of metacognitive states:
a) Cognizant unawareness: I KNOW that I am unaware of how many atoms are in my body.
b) Non-cognizant unawareness: I DON'T KNOW that I am unaware of how many atoms are in my body.

P2 denies the possibility of (a). Although, (a) is obviously a possible stance to hold.

I guess my argument is unclear then. Sad I intended to refer to the metacognizant state b) ('unknown unknowns').
