"We couldn't posibly know" or "We are not ment to know" questions?

Question

These seem to be an attempt to limit my inteligence with another persons ignorance.

As an example of this type of logical fallicy would one of these be a good example for a theist?

We couldn't posibly know is the same as saying we could not posibly belive.

OR

We are not ment to know is the same as saying we are not ment to belive.

Please note that no religion is implied in this qusestion. It is merely a request of what you think would be a good way to explain this type of logical fallicy to a theist.

Ethan,
Is that like trying to define nothing? AKA once you define nothing it becomes something and you are still left with what is nothing.

Answer 1

It is a curious thing about Christians that they -must- know the answer to everything. Somehow, an admission of ignorance is tantamount to disbelief.

So, when stumped, they turn to the "God is so much more than we puny humans can comprehend" 'explanation'.

Of course, despite the claim we can't understand God, they'll immediately turn around and proclaim that they understand God's rules.

Point out -that- paradox and they quickly change the subject ;-)

Answer 2

That is just a nice way of telling you that they don't know either.

There is also this universal law that one will never know everything. There are gonna be some gaps, and your faith in your belief as to what you perceive is true will fill those gaps until they/it reveals the truth to you... by your life experience.

Whatever you want to know about you will learn how to get the answers... You may have to try a variety of ways but seek & you will find! It may knock your socks so be prepared, have you ever wanted to know something then wish you could go back to not knowing? Weird. My example will be Santa Claus.... you question it? you find out... then some of the fun leaves, if not all.

Answer 3

Not all answers are directly proportionate to every question. But first, the Anatomy of a question must be examined.
What is a "question?" This is weird because one is forced to use the very entity being examined to examine the question of what a question is. This is an indication that there is something lacking in man's logic or his communication systems or both or something else.

Hope you got your answer because I am not answering any more questions in this context nor am I questioning you further.

Answer 4

"We couldn't possibly know is the same as saying that we could possibly not believe......"

No...

We couldn't possibly know indicates that with all the possible information given that we can not know for certain what the absolute answer is...

Saying we could not possibly believe indicates with all the possible information we do not believe that information.

OR.....

"We are not meant to know is the same as saying we are not meant to believe"

Um.. No..

"Not meant to know" would indicate that someone/thing is intentionally giving us misinformation so that we can not come to a solution (belief)

"We are not meant to believe" is saying that with all the correct information given that there is someone/thing mandating that we don't believe the information.

Wow.. I need some coffee now...

Answer 5

And your question is? Explain to a theist? Does he want it explained?
