The devil and all those angels knew with complete certainty that god existed, and yet they rebelled against him, something i'm assuming he didn't want them to do. Please explain that.
It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings.
(Proverbs 25:2, NIV)
There's a sense in which mysteries bring glory to God and solving them bring glory to us. It's no accident that so many people enjoy puzzles and riddles or exploration and experimentation, it's just another way in which we reflect the God whose image we are made in.
You didn't answer me at all. Try again.

Really if you cannot accept the 1st and second century historians accounts of Jesus then you really have no business believing that any figure of history existed. We have the 27 books in the New Testament and the 19 extra biblical accounts both friend and foe thought Jesus was real so why we should believe the 21st century atheist who says otherwise?
The historical accounts of the life of jesus christ, would be the equivelent of the newspapers only now reporting the first ever moon landing.
