It would be wrong to say that reality is derived from knowledge, because as your epistemological definition of knowlege explains, knowlege is derived from reality. As you explained before, the conditions for knowledge include that there must be evidence for the proposition, and the proposition...

Hey LachieM, "is omniscience an intrinsic property of God? " If your take the definition of God to "the neccessary first cause", then i think this paragraph from Peter Kreeft explains it pretty well. "To say that God is omniscient, and omnipotent means that there can be no real barriers...
