We have a number of senses but there are no certainties. We could all be imagining all this. We could all be suffering from hallucinations. Unless you know of another way of perceiving that is more reliable than our senses.
Faith won't cut it I'm afraid. That can also be wrong.
We observe, test, test again, study, measure and gather data from all these. This is how we learn, this is how we advance in knowledge. But no matter what we do or how we go about it. There can be no 100% certainty.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
