Why.........?

Why is it, that mortal man thinks he can know all? Why is it that he believes he knows enough to say what will be and what won't be. How does he know?

Update:

Every one, from Atheists to Christians, believe that they can say God is not real, or The end of the world will come 2012...But where exactly do we get the "evidence" from...

    It's only theists who say that sort of nonsense. They think their favorite book of mythology holds all the answers.

    There are some things in this world that we cannot prove right or wrong I can make up an infinate amount of them off the top of my head. Like I created teh universe yesterday and all you know before was implanted or cabbages are the creator of everything they just act stupid when people are around. You get my drift?

    He doesn't. Plain and simple. He just thinks that he does. I like to call it a "false sense of pride." A lot of people have it.

    I don't know who you're talking about.

    Science is the pursuit of knowledge, but it's no claim to exclusive and total possession of knowledge.

    The only people I hear claiming to have answers to everything are believers.
