Thanks for the link to your most interesting 2005 thread.
Seems to me your list of types of knowledge can be boiled down to two:

1) natural knowledge derived from inputs from our senses, as confirmed by other inputs from our senses, and

2) theological knowledge revealed by the Bible and confirmed by revelations from the Bible.

That is the Thomistic dichotomy which is the source of such agitated discussions on this thread and others.
And yet I notice that very few here are willing to acknowledge it, and so must wonder why?

Thank you for sharing your views, dear BroJoeK!

But truly the two knowledge types are a false dichotomy as betty boop explains so well in her post just following yours.

And the point of the thread I linked is that most Freepers gain knowledge from a variety of methods and personally have varying degrees of confidence based on the methods for gaining knowledge.

Precious few Freepers exclude theological knowledge whether by direct or indirect revelation. Interestingly, the false dichotomy you claim only recognizes indirect theological knowledge.
