The world we live in is, and always will be, full of unknowns. If we want an AI that is capable of being more than a trumped-up theorem prover that depends on us to feed it good assumptions, it is going to have to be capable of dealing with these unknowns on a permanent basis. It is going to have to choose its own assumptions based on what helps it make sense of the world, rather than having them spoon fed to it. If we tell it there is (or is not) a god, it should question that statement just like a human being does, and come to its own conclusions based on what fits most comfortably with the rest of its model of reality.
