   Humans can know if they define their terms in a Way.   
   That very Way, by definition, entails their epistemology.   
      
   If, axiomatically, logically speaking, humans say their god   
   knows all things then that god is omniscient, by definition.   
      
   A valid logical argument may then follow and proven   
   using deduction which goes Way far beyond science   
   with its inductive reasoning abilities and is not super-   
   natural naturally. Ontology and metaphysics have   
   their know-hows and how evers.

   We can assume such a god is this contraption that traps us   
   and is us and knows numbers that have infinite potentials   
   yet just as well infinity is not a number.   
      
   To the right of a decimal point, if a number extends without end,   
   and is infinite in that dimension on a line in a given reality, then,   
   to know the infinite in a finite Way, we may.   
      
   - like the radical two fer example ... Cheers!
