In terms of absolute certainty? I don't think so. In the naturalistic view, there will always be the assumption that our perception of reality can accurately determine the nature of reality.

I'd be happy to be wrong about this, however.

Determine as in "cause it to be" or determine as in "identify". One is correct and the other is woefully wrong.
