And also, to know absolutely 100% for certain that an omniscient intelligence exists - wouldn't you have to be omniscient yourself? Smile

To check if a claimed omniscient entity knows just one fact A you would have to have access to absolute truth about fact A. To check if a claimed omniscient being knows all facts about everything you indeed would have to be omniscient yourself. The claim is not falsifiable.
