The point is that the gap between our limited understanding of reality and Ultimate Reality is infinite, and thus is an extremely powerful argument for the possibility of God's existence.

Others have commented on this statement, but I'll toss in a couple of coppers as well. First, the assertion that the gap in our understanding of reality and actual reality is infinite has not been supported, although I suggest it is certainly asymptotic. That our knowledge is incomplete indicates only and exactly that we still have more to learn. You cannot convert lack of evidence into support for your own pet theory.

Of course, you may not exist at all, so maybe it evens out in the end, heheh.

'Has not been supported?' LOL! What planet are you living on? Honest scientists will tell you that the more we come to know, the more we realize how much there is that we don't know.

But there is much evidence that points to creation, not a lack of such evidence.

Escapist nonsense. Do you look both ways before you cross the street?
