Evidence God Exists: Part II

[The Omnissiunt One]

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 agree with that. ...

I think I want to retract my agreement as quoted above. After thinking about this more, knowing or claiming that something exists does not require omnicience to be accurate whereas knowing or claiming something doesn't exist would.

Certainty one way or another would indeed require omniscience, unless the concept in question were false by definition. After all, no amount of evidence is sufficient to prove something conclusively. However, a statement can be proved or disproved probabilistically. Very few atheists would say categorically that there is definitely no form of deity (though no doubt some would). My view is that a position of disbelief in something unproven is the default position, because there is no necessary correspondence between the human imagination and reality, and therefore things which we speculate to exist are very unlikely to be real unless there is evidence for them.
