"There is no way to know if God exists."

Such an absolute statement comes a God-like all-pervasive knowledge on your own part.

So, you can see in every nook and cranny of the universe, and beyond it, throughout all time, all space, in the heart of every atom, and every creature, and you can declare with absolute knowledge, "No one can know!".

Just because you don't see God doesn't mean others can't. Your statement comes from extreme arrogance and placing yourself in the position of being all knowing. Don't you see it?

No, it happens to be true. It's a recognition of my finiteness.

"So, you can see in every nook and cranny of the universe, and beyond it, throughout all time, all space, in the heart of every atom, and every creature, and you can declare with absolute knowledge, "No one can know!"."

No, and I never said that. I am talking about human beings right now. In the future it may be possible to know if God exists; it isn't right now.

"Just because you don't see God doesn't mean others can't."

They can't provide any objective evidence for Him though. Lots of people see lots of things. Some see pink unicorns. Some see God.

"Your statement comes from extreme arrogance and placing yourself in the position of being all knowing. Don't you see it?"

My position comes from the acknowledgment of my limitations. Of human limitations.
