The question is if certainty is attainable, how is it attainable?


And that's not easy thing to answer. But worthy of seeking the knowledge for.

You seemed to answer it pretty easily when you decided that neither science nor reason (redundant, but whatevs) could provide certainty.  The mind boggles as to what you think could, with those two being out of the running.

(It doesn't..I already know, but I'm playing along, lol)

Reason is the only way to certainty from my point of view. Don't misunderstand. However, as we can err or not really grasp inferences from reason, it doesn't guarantee certainty.

I think the more we use reason, it will eventually be strong enough to grasp and have vision of certainty in inferences that others might not grasp.

Scientific method uses hypothesis, sees observations that confirm it, and concludes hypothesis is strong, but it's not conclusive as it's circular in reasoning and really is just pragmatic as a working model.
