In your case just blindly have a leap of faith and say that certainty
is this or that, or like the most of us, just deal with the human
condition and move on. Evolutionary theorists often claim that natural
selection didn't place a priority on achieving complete justification,
but just enough justification of probability to remain alive.

There is NO leap of faith, indeed no faith at all is required trying
to place an apple where a peach exists at the same moment Mortal. They
both cant fit where each other fits at the same moment.

Two identical trains on the identical track heading towards each other
at 100 mph (any speed) are going to destroy each other.

I've explained that to you already. Two seperate entities can not both
exist where each other exists at the same moment.

A is A

And the identical principle applies to your ideas of and about
reality.

e.g. You simply can not claim certainty is never available, without
FIRST identifying the meaning of certainty, which being uncertain of
everything doesn't allow you to do, therefore you can NOT say you cant
ever be certain, because you dont even know what it means by your own
admission, man you mystics are weird.
