Why did God Not Allow Humanity To Be All Knowing ?

Why does God Want Humans In A State Of Ignorance ? In my opinion that's what dictators and other evil people want If God Really Was good he would have made humanity with the ability to understand and know everything that there is to know.

Could u expand on the "State of Ignorance"? We certainly we don't know all, farm from it, but keep in mind we started doing proper Science pretty much yesterday, and we are literally listening to black holes collide through the vibrations of space-time, from here on Earth, not to mention AI, for the first time in computation we are starting to aproximate something that emulates "intelligence"
We are starting to look into the very small and the very big, aswell as toying with the idea of machine cognition, if we don't **** it up, the next decades will be very interesting.
Cheers!

To me humanity seems ignorant because we don't know everything.

Of course we are ignorant! (plus we don't know what we don't know) and i don't even think we will be able to know "everything" but i'm optimist that Science is a pretty good method to get to know stuff, and we did significant advances since the first times we started looking at the skies and realized those shiny things might be suns (or even galaxies) like ours.

If god exists, I haven't seen enough evidence to suggest that we're god's top priority or even considered a priority at all.

An abundance of evidence to the contrary actually.

We're pretty interesting to ourselves but that's just a human thing - it's how we evolved and we evolved very imperfectly; every person has terrible genetic failures and material challenges and the default human experience is an experience of suffering and struggling.

We've done some impressive stuff but the idea that some transcendent being or the full sweep of the universe would grant little ol' us with omniscience for no reason is pretty absurd to me.

The idea that human beings are the center of the universe is even more absurd and a reflection of how pathetically little we know about ourselves, our surroundings and the meaning of our participation in the universe as a whole.

I disagree. I still think that Ignorance is evil no matter what.

Then you have not properly thought it through. Sometimes it is better not to remember ... leading to one of the few rules of the Universe and one by which Heaven operates.

I disagree with what you said remembering something's are good or else you would have to keep relearning some things.

Ultimately we humans invented concepts of Good and Bad, and i agree with you that Ignorance is worse than knowing, but there's people who prefers to rather not know, because the lie is better/more convenient than the fact.
And relearning isn't bad! we should never ascertaint absolute certainty, but rather a "good enough" aproach, that allows us to function with that information, if that information shows lacking, we naturally have to re-think or re-learn some stuff

Yes Adam and Eve wanted to know things before God thought they were ready.
There was good reason for Adam and Eve not to know right and wrong at that stage of their development imo.

If we knew the future for example some people would try to do something else apart from what they knew, and when they could not do it they would say that they did not have any free will.
Ooops some people say stuff like that about free will even when they don't know the future.
But of course, knowing the future would take all the surprises away and life could become boring if we had the time to sit around and think about the future etc.
So knowing everything or even the future would change the future and everything if that is possible.

Because God Purposely made humanity ignorant.

Being an ignorant human, you can't possibly know that to be so.

So ... why do you choose believe it, anyway?

Seems to me that our ignorance is our greatest gift. If we had all the answers, there'd be no questions. And no choices. And it's through our choices in life that we define ourselves. That we create who we are, and determine who we will become. With omniscience all that is gone. There would be no reason for us to exist. The only free will that would be available to us would be the will to defy truth. And to what end?

That you would need to relearn something is not necessarily Evil .. but this has no bearing on the reason for the universal rule you have not considered - why it is better not to remember ?!

If you remembered your past lives .. and knew for certain that your soul would return to heaven upon death ... your vacation to Earth would not be nearly as exciting .. suicide would be far more common.

Excellent point, I add, and no critique, right?
