Do you know everything in the world, I mean EVERY single piece of knowledge there is to know? The obvious answer is no because nobody knows everything. So how can you say there is no God if you dont know everything there is to know? It goes to prove that God doesnt believe in atheists.

Does anyone understand what Im asking? How can you say there is no God for certain if you dont know everything? In simpler terms you cannot KNOW there is no God, you may think there is none but you cannot know it for a fact if you are not all knowing.

I would like to address some of the atheists who have attempted to answer this question with the same question. That's not an answer guys! How can you impugn someones logic and then use such a cheap non-answer in response? Talk about illogical huh? There is an other thing that you are apparently not getting; in order to know that something/someone does not exist you do have to know everything; but in order to know that someone/something does exist you only have to know one thing, that it exists. I would also like to take a crack at those of you who try and use the tooth fairy/santa claus/flying spaghetti monster arguments. The difference between my position and yours is that nobody with fully formed adult reasoning skills claims to have any reason to believe that these things exist. There is, much to Sho-nuff's chagrin, plenty of evidence for God. I would like to present to you exhibit A-The Universe! It is a certainty that the universe had a beginning. If it has a beginning it therefore has a cause. Cause implies purpose, which in turn implies intelligence. Which intelligence is a different argument but an absolute denial of God is willing ignorance on your part. The only reason to argue against God's existence is to escape from moral culpability; and yes I know that there are Christians who have done schmucky things and atheists who seem pretty moral but that is beside the point so let's leave that little red herring alone shall we?

I believe you should answer that question yourself- both you and St. Preachy keep trying to pass it off, but it's a legitimate response; you can't ask for debate and simply expect not to be questioned back- it's a form of argumentation. How can I possibly take you seriously if you won't even answer your own question, and without saying it's because of the Bible or just faith, as using scripture to support scripture is a ridiculous notion. If you can't answer this seriously and rationally, then it clearly shows you're not worth arguing with, because it gives way to the possibility that you'd be the type to think they've won no matter what. It'd just be a waste of our time to argue with someone who isn't even open to the possibility of changing their views. As that's what many Atheists and Scientists are prepared to do when entering arguments, it's the common courtesy of debate. You must be accepting to the possibility of being proven wrong, you see; it's a simply show of respect- and if you're unwilling to show that respect, then don't whine when that same attitude is thrown back at you. Now, this appears to be a major miss-conception that many Religious people seem to have; as many, if not all, Atheist are willing to change there mindset if the evidence proves it so, and, of course; extraordinary claims requires extraordinary evidence. What of this do you not comprehend? Please, I'm not trying to look down on you, but you must be capable of seeing the hypocrisy of your question. You are far too quick to disclaim the pretense of your own words.

"Do you know everything in the world, I mean EVERY single piece of knowledge there is to know?"
No. And I don't need to, to not believe.
Do you know every thing there is to know in the universe? No? Then how can you not believe in Zeus?
"So how can you say there is no God if you dont know everything there is to know"
I don't. I simply state that I don't believe there is a god. It's not the same thing as saying god doesn't exist.

I don't think I ever said there was no God. I don't believe in him.
Of course we could have fun with this and say:
Do you know everything in the world, I mean EVERY single piece of knowledge there is to know? The obvious answer is no because nobody knows everything. So how can you say there is no Invisible Pink Unicorn (IPU) if you dont know everything there is to know?

No. Of course not. But not knowing isn't evidence for a god any more than not knowing about bacteria was evidence that demons were making you sick. It JUST means we don't know YET.
There is no evidence that there is a god. No evidence essentially means that someone made it up. It is not reasonable to believe in things without any evidence. You would be stuck with every ridiculous thing that human imagination could come up with.
Not believing in god is the same as not believing in Zeus, Odin, Santa, the Tooth Faerie, and all the thousands of others since the evidence is exactly the same. I would be no less surprised if someone found evidence of Bacchus than I would be if they found evidence of your god.

While your "question" is rather jumbled and skips around a bit, I believe my answer would be "no", but that doesn't mean I have to fill the gaps in my knowledge with God.
I would also like to point out that there are many other groups besides atheists who share an equal disbelief in the Christian God, so you really should direct your question to them as well.
I believe they could all direct the same question to you in regards to their god(s).

"Do you know everything in the world, I mean EVERY single piece of knowledge there is to know? The obvious answer is no because nobody knows everything."
...I never claimed to, dear.
"So how can you say there is no God "
Easy. Watch this.
There is no God.
"It goes to prove that God doesnt believe in atheists."
No, it goes to prove that you're sorely lacking in a little thing called common sense.

Do you know everything in the world, I mean EVERY single piece of knowledge there is to know?
--No.
So how can you say there is no God if you dont know everything there is to know?
-- Because the description is self-contradictory, like a round square.

How can you believe your bible, over science and logic ?
Do you believe the earths is only 6000 years old ?
Why do you choose to believe in the Christian god, when they're so many god's to choose from ?
How do you know you chose the right god ?
"nobody knows everything"
