You have to believe one way or the other, otherwise you are a vegetable

You simply can't use the "ignorant" form of atheism definition in modern society

And God would definitely be omniscient over anything in our understanding after designing every aspect of our systems. It's like if you asked Linus Torvalds about Git

Computer science researchers run programs all the time where they are pretty ignorant as to the details of what is going on inside. This is not because they are stupid, but because the complexity they create is beyond their ability to digest it easily. Nor would it be worthwhile to bother understanding every minor detail. How do you know we aren't just a program being run by some grad student who doesn't really know much beyond the large scale structure of the universe? Maybe the only visualization they see is the spiderweb of galaxy clusters and filaments.

This is why Feinman was reduced to drawing pictures to "explain" what he thought was going on in quantum mechanics, the math is simply too difficult.

R00t who the fuck are you to make assumptions about a hypothetical omniscient being? Please find me some evidence of "God" that isn't man made or random correlation.

And for further clarification I consider myself an agnostic, can't prove or disprove the existence of deities. I base all of my decisions and thinking on the empirical modified by a few key assumptions such as base 10 arithmetic.

If they were a lazy grad student copy pasting from stackoverflow they would not be our true creator but merely a demigod.

Ah, it's good to see that you continue to maintain such a rigorous and exacting scientific approach to understanding the universe. Root has decreed it to be and so thus it is.
