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?

    Not sure how Solipsism contradicts atheism or anything else for that matter… I see it more as punting the question. If my mind is the only way for me to know what exists, and my experience is such that atheism is true, then that’s the end of the discussion. Not sure why I am arguing with myself on this one. /S
