Mathematics produces results, and can be shown to exist. Were 1+1 8 in one persons equations and 42 in another, but never 2, we would discard it as useless. Clearly something is wrong. Contemplation can be demonstrated. Music is a demonstration. Literature is a record of thoughts, dreams, facts, any number of things that clearly do exist as a product of human beings. The ways of investigating the world are diverse, and each and every single way of investigating the universe has turned up nothing with respect to any gods. Not one scrap, not an echo, not a whisper, not even a suggestion that such things could exist. Mull that over for a minute. Not only have the faithful failed to provide evidence for their claims, they cannot even show how such things might be possible. Nothing but one giant running platitude. Yet here you are to question everything except the god you presumably believe exists.
Your examples are sorely lacking. Cosmology is the study of both space and time, as well as it;s cause, and it's theories are falsifiable. Pain can be measured (and often is), so much so that you can get a degree in exactly how to prevent it, again, by demonstrable means which show results. Pick something beyond our current abilities, and then...wax on like you have a point.
But you know what, fuck it, you get to stand right next to Chip tonight.
Everything we know is complete and utter garbage. The entire cosmos is a mystery. Now, if you please, explain how your narrative is correct, and how you came upon that knowledge.
