indeed is employed as a means of interpreting so called reality. But I still have to have some foundational basis to interpret it regard less of how
accurate that may be. I am therefore certain beyond reasonable doubt that I exist and that others exist too. Although if for the sake of argument
that is not actually true the illusion is so powerful my brain shall still convince me of it anyway. However I am not certain beyond all doubt of any
thing at all. So one has to suspend some degree of disbelief otherwise one would never accept any thing as true including the evidence of ones
own senses and the reasoning of ones own brain. And therefore upon the basis of probability some things are more likely to be true than others
And that is the basis upon which one should ideally interpret so called reality and the best disciplines for doing so are science and mathematics
I'm 100% certain that I exist, along with reality. However, I am not 100% certain that a Creator exists. Which is where this thread seems to be going at the moment. That said, the rest of what you posted went way over my head.
