But if your framework started with "God exists, the Bible is the Word of God, infalliable, absolute truth" and proceed from there, you would make a whole set of different predictions about what you "know."

I understand that.

Just to make things clear, I am not asserting that believing in God is either ignorant or stupid. I am only asserting that, within the framework of Western culture and the English language, asserting certainty that the God of the Bible exists is either ignorant or stupid because, to do so, one couldn't possibly grasp the difference between certainty and certitude. I make my claim with a great deal of assurance. Now, if you want to frame the matter to include humans on some part of this planet that has never encountered basketball and Western thought, then you have a point.
