Understanding that the ultimate reality is that in which we cannot see is something totally different than calaiming to understand everything about it. My arguement might be used to justify denial, if, I claimed that, which I did not. You have to claim full understanding of something to then be able to claim denial to an oposite view. If not, then it's just two different opinions. That's the differece between denial and faith, the two aren't opposite standpoints. If I claimed that I knew everything about God, knows his purposes, understands all of his workings to the T, then I, in fact, would not be a person of
faith.
I
believe in God. One would have to claim absolute truth to call denial. I believe that many people have indeed experienced God in their lives, me included.
