Meaning, than mankind can never understand God, because we are not God. This is the conviction agnosticism that excited and embraced so many early christian philosophers.

Or worse, you invent a god that is what you want him to be. How sad that you refuse to accept that which you cannot see or explain.

Now it appears you are both just patrionizing each other. Your words are both kind and calm. But quite frankly, you are both pissed at each other. It's okay to be pisssed, but lets not pretend empathy.

But understandable: Ephesians 4:18 "Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart".

This is applicable to any individual who does not agree with me.

You may impress others with your words and your supposed education, but not me. True wisdom comes only from God: James 1:5 "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him."

See, I'm more of a socrates girl myself. Wisdom only comes, when one realizes that they know nothing.
Then again, to embrace God, is to realize that we can never know him or understand him. To embrace God, means we know nothing..and only from that place can we gain wisdom.
Hmm..maybe I agree with this statement after all

You have stated your credentials in a display similiar to that of a mating peacock. I am not even able to verify that you went to a "tech" school, much less obtained a PhD.

Nor are you able to verify anything else you read..such as, I don't know..a 3000 year old book?
Heheh..sorry couldnt' resist :P
