oldtrapper,
In that we cannot have full knowledge of the creator because he would necessary be a transcendent being, outside our experience, I would agree. But I think it is entirely reasonable that we can gain knowledge of the creator within the limits of our physical existence.
I like the modern refinement of the Thomistic proofs. More modern "proofs" from the expansion of the universe (and reversing that - big bang) are interesting. (Proof in quotes as there are underlying assumptions that I don't understand well enough) And while I don't consider "fine tuning" of physical constants to be a proof, they are a mighty big hint.
