It is possible that the argument we may never know everything is more powerful than the one that we will (although I'm not totally sure that's true, because I don't know how you really set up a logical test that abstract), but I'm not sure that gets you any further. Even if the first argument is stronger, it doesn't mean that given enough time we wouldn't know everything, had we unlimited time, and it doesn't mean there is any God centered reason why we couldn't. Or at least I don't see a logical connection. Do you see one? It's very important to distinguish atheists from agnostics, since they are very very different. A- means "not" or "without" and "gnostic" means knowing- so agnostics do not claim to know whether God or the supernatural exist or not. Atheist, literally means "not God" or "without God" and they have a belief system- since you cannot prove the non-existence of God, you have to choose to believe in it. Thus I think it's crucial to remember the difference. Big difference.
