Obviously, it's alot more complicated and this is just a catchy phrase...however.....I've no real argument with you there. But we have been good enough at predicting the future to get this far even if it was only by predicting where to find lunch. How far we're going to get from here is an open question.

IOW, you don't think brains are very good at seeking truth -for a variety of reasons-. Neither do I.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
