Can God Know Everything? – Part 1 of 2

What if it's impossible for a being to know everything? If omniscience is not possible, then the classical conception of God as a perfect being collapses. In this workshop, Leslie Allan will walk through his formal argument that omniscience is impossible based on what we know about 'knowledge' and the ways in which a knower can be mistaken. If his argument succeeds, then atheism is more reasonable.
