To What Extent Is It Possible to Know God?
This paper explores the epistemological boundaries regarding the human capacity to comprehend a transcendent and infinite deity. Utilizing a framework that bridges classical philosophy (Kant, Hume) with modern Information Theory, it argues that while exhaustive knowledge of God is precluded by the finite nature of human cognition, partial and rational knowledge remains accessible. The author introduces two original conceptual frameworks to sustain this position: first, the Celestial Chair Paradox, which utilizes functional logic to posit the necessity of an external rational agent for the existence of organized universal information; second, the Limit of Emergence, which challenges materialist assumptions by arguing that reason and logic cannot spontaneously arise from non-rational foundations. Furthermore, the paper addresses the "moral blind spot" in human inquiry through the theory of Rubic Absorption—a state of internal entropy that affects cognitive clarity. The work concludes that God is knowable not as a quantifiable object within the system, but as the necessary "Ground of Being" and "Universal Programmer" inferred through transcendental logic and moral law. Keywords: Epistemology, Philosophy of Religion, Information Theory, Transcendental Logic, God, Rubic Absorption, Celestial Chair Paradox.
