You are perhaps thinking of philosophical "ultimate knowledge." I just had in mind what I've learned. I "know" the world has great beauty, operates in a delicate balance, etc. I know that most people are mostly good, but that we all battle our lesser selves. You may want to look over Romans 1 to get a feel for what I'm driving at. The writer, Paul, basically says that we have enough knowledge so that, in the end, we are without excuse for how we live out our lives, and for how we respond to God.
