Fact; Blue is not yellow.
Fact; My mother is my grandfathers daughter.
Fact; An inability to disprove something does not imply proof of its
legitimacy by default.
Fact; Most facts are senseless, especially when proposed as nothing more
than facts, without any sense of order or logic behind them. (How again does
the fact that I only know the function of 12% of my brain make me any less
capable of knowing the existence of my ultimate creator?)

You should read a book. It is called "Towing Jehovah" and it is very funny.
It provides the answers to the questions you've just raised.

But hasn't God already done that? Walk through NYC and you'll find at least
a half dozen guys claiming to be the Man Himself. How can you disprove
them? Just because you can't, doesn't mean they are. Likewise, you are not
at liberty to lay any claims on the future of this species' ability to know
the physical universe, nor are any of us.
