Are you now saying that cosmology presents an ultimately unknowable problem? How do you know this? (Human limitation)

Assuming that is true, does the potential of something being unknowable dent the possibility of God's omniscience? No. that would require God to be non-omniscient.
No I am not saying this. Just that the big bang singularity is necssarily unpredictable which would indict god of intervention and therefore incompetence and/or of lacking foreknowledge and therefore omniscience. This doesn't logically disprove god but is more likely given atheism, and by weight of evidence atheism should therefore be preferred. We could all construct abstract concepts of deities that cannot be disproved but doing do adds nothing to our knowledge, but piles mystery upon mystery.
