“On the one hand, I am perfectly comfortable with the uncertainty of knowledge. It just reminds me that nothing is complete without God.”
“And thus on the basis of observation and experience, I have no reason to believe that ‘the certainty of knowledge’ is even possible.
But, since the certainty of knowledge is not possible, your “knowledge” that there is God must be uncertain and you are therefore basing your source of comfort regarding uncertainty on something you cannot be certain exists, else...
You really do believe you can be certain about something. Right!

My "'knowledge' that there is God" rests on faith, not on reason. What is received in faith is not "uncertain." Nor is it unreasonable. In fact, it turns out that reason itself ultimately rests on faith in God.
As René Descartes put it, the idea of God is the prior condition in the human mind for the possibility of any other idea, even that of the ego itself. (You can follow his reasoning in the Meditations.)
Which observation evidently inspired Voltaire's rather waggish remark of a generation later, "If God did not exist, it would be necessary to create him."
Descartes argued that the idea of God is built into our very souls — it is the evidence of the imago Dei of our created nature. It's there, in-built as it were, whether we acknowledge God or not.
But denial of this can be costly, psychologically and arguably intellectually.
And now you're really gonna yell at me! :^) LOLOL!
