It all seems to be operating in the same way as a religion, with people believing things because they want them to be true, not because they actually are. |
All things are ultimately reduced to beliefs. It is not possible, not even through science, to determine actual truth. Because you must necessarily begin with an axiom that cannot be proven: that's Godel's Incompleteness Theorem. Science, for example, assumes that repeatability (discovered by empirical confirmation of hypotheses) results in predictability (which is what scientific theories are).
As religious nuts have brought up over and over again, it could just be that some omnipotent God is right there changing the results of the data with His Noodly Appendage. You can't tell.
