Just looking for other answers to this.
How do you know that you know anything? How do you know you can rely on your senses? (As in: I know the rock exists because I can see the rock. How do you know you can see it?)
If knowledge is reliant upon our senses and reasoning (which it is), and we can’t know for sure that our senses are reasoning are valid, then how can we know anything?
So is all knowledge based on faith?
If all knowledge is based on faith, then is science reliable?
If all knowledge is based on faith, then what about ACTUAL faith? Why is it so illogical?
Solipsism vs Nihilism
Solipsism claims that we know our own mind exists, where Nihilism claims we don’t know that anything exists.
Your thoughts?

Half of dozen thiests have asked me this same question pretending to be athiests.
Everything in science is a model. Clockwork that function like the reality and produces similar results, so we can make predictions about the reality, but it’s still a model. You can have several of them that function differently, but long as they produce the same results that match reality, all are equally correct.
Your perception of reality is also a model. Produced by your brain using input from your senses. “Construct” for you to live in.
Science is about probing elements that remain consistently same for everyone and using those to build more extensive models. Belief is not a component of any value.
