Then I suppose that the statement "God does exist" can only be accurately/believably said by someone who is omniscient, as only one who is omniscient knows for certain that this deity is real and can determine whether or not the statement is accurate.

I don't care what you do. Unlike believers, I was not trying to proclaim some absolute truth.
Quote:I will continue to take it that you are really saying "I have not seen any evidence that convinces me that God exists" and that you do not yet understand the diffference in meaning between:
"There is no evidence that supports the existence of a deity"
and
"I have not seen any evidence that convinces me that God (or a deity) exists"
Okay.
