The Bible Job 8 : 8 - 10
"Ask the former generations and find out what their fathers learned, for we were born only yesterday and know nothing, and our days on earth are but a shadow. Will they not instruct you and tell you ? Will they not bring forth words from their understanding ?
Atheist - any human being that lacks knowledge or belief for whatever reason that God, a Godess, Goddesses or Gods actually exist. Without belief of The God Concept. --Syn. Agnostic, infidel, skeptic.

Knowing nothing in this particular scripture doesn't mean a complete lack of knowledge (ie: an empty brain). It implies the same thing a professor once said in a class I attended.
He said that after teaching all over the world for over 50 years
He came to the conclusion that after all he had learned he really didn't know anything. In essence, by comparison with the knowledge available in totality in the world, his knowledge was very small.
As far as the knowledge of God is concerned it is made very clear in Paul's letter to the Romans Chapter 1:19 and 20 that He has put the knowledge of Himself in everyone so that all are without excuse. From this God is saying there is no real excuse for anyone to say they don't believe in Him because the seed is planted in them from the very conception of life.

You can't use passages from the bible to prove anything else in the bible is true. And you can't use the bible as proof of anything in the real world. And even if somehow something in the bible were proved true through use of the scientific method, that doesn't mean anything else in the bible is true. Everything has to be proven true, one thing at a time, before you can accept it as true. Believing doesn't accomplish anything except to blank your mind and leave you at the mercy of others.

You actually answered your own question. It is in fact FROM the Bible, and it states "Will they not instruct you and tell you? Will they not bring forth words from their understanding?"

In the context of your definition yes.
Ever wonder why people are always looking for one?
and when that one fails they retract ever believing in him in the first place? Kinda like the fox and the Grape inst it?

No matter what the bible says ( and it certainly is "verbose, isn't it?", we ARE born knowing enough to help us survive...we know how to feed, we know how to ....SWIM! And know to cry when we need something, when we are uncomfortable (a form of communication), etc.

Babies are born totally selfish and self centered. Atheists simply never grow beyond that.
