If yours is the same reality, I guess mine is not confined either.

Sorry, I didn't understand your answer. Did you say God can know fear
or God can't know everything?

Logic is a description of reality. Reality is where we exist.

Yes, I am ignorant of many things. Are you implying that you know everything
or that my ignorance of some things somehow disqualifies my knowledge?

You must have a different definition of "fact". Please enlighten me.

Is this meant as an insult?

Sure, by your definitions.

Evolution doesn't care whether you believe it or not.

Obviously all the evidence I've written about does not count as evidence
to you. I'm not going to waste my time any more until you tell me what
kind of evidence would convince you. Be explicit and detailed.

I think you missed the point. Having a conversation is like a game of chess.

Well think of the other person for a moment.
