Luckily I never said that science is the only way to knowledge or that science constitutes the only valid knowledge.

What other kinds of knowledge are there? I thought your assertion that there is no way there to know if a God exists was based on the assumption that we do not have the ability to scientifically test for the existence of a deity. (?)

Cordially,

"What other kinds of knowledge are there?"

Logic, mathematics.

"I thought your assertion that there is no way there to know if a God exists was based on the assumption that we do not have the ability to scientifically test for the existence of a deity."

We don't. Math and logic won't help us either. Personal revelation can't be trusted, and certainly is not evidence at all for someone who was not the subject of the revelation. And science is also impotent at this time. Unless you know of a way to know if God exists?
