It doesn't because they are all children of God

If it's meant the way I think you mean it, that is a fairly arrogant claim. But technically, it does have a point. For knowledge to exist requires that someone 'know' it. Considering that the only currently known life is on this planet and people have the most developed intellect, yes, people are the largest source and container of knowledge in the known universe. But this is purely semantics, not an implication that we're even approaching all we could know about the universe.

Why would I fear that? People often fear what they don't understand. And if there were no mankind, then who would even be aware that knowledge existed? If mankind was created by God (apparently your way of thinking), then mankind can know things. However, as we have seen many times over, mankind is frequently wrong - no one has a monopoly on what the truth really is - the religious, or the atheist - knowledge is far too vast for any human being to ever have all of it.

No, I'm not scared at all. When you get sick, do you go to a Doctor for his knowledge or to Church for theirs? If you went to Church for their cure, you should be scared. Do you realize how many Christian Scientists have died with their cure? You think that God is so smart? Not smart enough to know that there are 1.8 million different species of living things on this planet when God gave us the story of Noah's Arc. Man can at least admit to making a mistake, religion can't.

of course not, because Man isn't the ultimate source of knowledge, even saying that means man is dumb. Man thinks he is the ultimate source of anything, and yet, they don't even know how to not kill each other. Very primitive.

I sure hope we arent. As I've grown, Ive had less and less confidence in the human race, some things we ignore i.e. global warming, threat of nuclear war, etc really scare me. A lot. And lets not forget George W Bush, the elected leader of the superpower of the world's nations (shudder). So you are NOT alone, I assure you.

Man is the ultimate collator of data in the universe. Knowledge is much harder to obtain.

Every beings are their ultimate source of their knowledge. There are no one singularity that possess.

Remember when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely was your birth,
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere out in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down here on earth.
