I don't think that I am omniscient. To the contrary, I have in both
books and papers classified myself as a "fallibilist epistemological
realist". As far as I can understand, this is also the view of prominent
philosophers such as Charles Sanders Peirce, Karl Popper, Mario Bunge,
Susan Haack, Ian Hacking, Simon Blackburn, and Thomas Nagel. But
fallibilism does not imply theism. The problem is that it makes a
difference to me and my actions whether I (fallibly) think there is no
God or whether I (fallibly) think there is a God. (02)
humbly,
Ingvar (03)
