You believe in a sky daddy. You are dunning-Kruger. You say something is true without any proof and you know it is true. You know how we all got here, how the universe got here, what we are supposed to do, where we are going, and what happens to us when we die. You know everything and yet know nothing. That is Dunning-Kruger in a nutshell.
