Given Pope John Paul 2 would be considered an authority on the topic of God, then consider his description of this deity as an "all-knowing absolute."

The logical fracture running through this is that an absolute would be an elemental, undivided state, while knowledge is very much a function of distinction, perspective and judgement.

Necessarily a spiritual absolute would be the essence of sentience, from which we rose, not an ideal of wisdom and judgement, from which we fell. The fact of our awareness, no matter how it is expressed.

Obviously though, society couldn't function by emphasizing this, as we wouldn't bow to authority as easily, so we are distracted by that something behind the curtain.
