howrar@lemmy.ca 4 weeks agoThis sentence is not known to be true by any omniscient being.
I don’t understand how this disproves the existence of an omniscient being. What if I said “This sentence is not known to be true by any logical being.” Is my existence disproven now?

Being logical doesn't imply knowing every true sentence.

Logical meaning having the ability to follow logical roles to determine whether or not any statement is true or false. I’ve followed that train or logic and determined that the sentence you provided is neither true nor false. I’ve determined that it is paradoxical. Why would an omniscient being be unable to know that this is a paradox?
