So, while we can't be certain of something, we can somewhat determine the probability of that something being true and operate under a reasonable assumption.
how do you determine probability? you take information you have on occurrences and reoccurrences. if you are uncertain of that information, you can't determine probability. possibility must be established prior to probability, and we can't even be certain of what is possible since that requires reason.
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them.
