(710 posts)Sure we can have absolute evidence of things. We have absolute evidence that certain medicines cure disease. W found this out through experiments.
We have absolute evidence that splitting atoms can create huge explosions. etc, etc because we have conducted experiments that prove such.
What we will never be able to conduct an experiment on is how the universe cam into being. We can make theories on things that we think we know, you may think those theories are valid based on what we think we know, but we also know that many theories are proven to be wrong once we are able to conducts experiments on them.
Again having faith in scientific theory with no way to ever prove that theory is the same as having faith in a higher being.
Both require something that can never be proven, both require believing in something outside our human capacity.
