What do you mean "knowledge determines existence"?

Then prove it.

Okay let me rephrase: Think of any two events happening, one event follows the other, all evidence points to one causing the other. Now try to use logical argument to absolutely prove that one caused the other. You can't do it because no one can do that, it's not logically provable because the opposite always remains logically possible.
