    If we assume that god, by definition, must be omniscient, there is actually a way to disprove the possibility with the following paradox:

    This sentence is not known to be true by any omniscient being.

    There are also more traditional arguments like the problem of evil

      If we assume that god, by definition, must be omniscient

      Why must that be true by definition? Many of the Greek gods were clearly not omniscient, because the stories about them all involve intrigues and hiding things from each-other.

      Also, you can’t disprove a god’s existence by making a logic puzzle that’s hard for you to puzzle out. Just because it’s a toughie for you doesn’t mean that it disproves the existence of gods.

      That isn’t even a particularly difficult logic puzzle.
