Since I have no reason to think Paul wrote gnostic texts, I will not waste my time wandering around the internet looking for them. If you have an argument to make, please make it and use some facts, thanks. Now please don't take this the wrong way

Not at all! It's your decision to think you know all there is to know. I will not do your homework. I would say that your way of looking at this issue is a copout, but don't take it personally. :)

It is how you look at knowledge, 1000 silverlings: you can either say I know everything God wanted me to know and believe in flat earth and oppose "flying mahcines" because God didn't give us wings, or you can say that God gave us intellect to find His truth.

I really doubt that anyone has the faith of the Christians who died for theirs in Roman arenas, who put God first in everything. We are all imperfect. Accepting it (our own imperfection and room for improvement) is the first step in theosis. Therefore "Seek and ye shall find."

I would not want your faith after reading that last paragraph.
