Do you know everything? In order to make your statement you would have to know everything. If you didn't know everything then what if there was something that we COULD know that you weren't aware of?

You are playing with words there. Very nice. IMO though it is easier to say you don't know everything, which is what science says, instead of saying that you know everything without needing proof. I can say I have proof that you have posted on this board, but you might say that God said in the bible that you did not post on here. Then tell me that I need to have faith because god said so in the bible. Yet I can offer proof that you have posted on this board. You here me now?
