And if one cannot explain or prove it how will one ever know it is true except that one subjectively believes it is true? If one cannot prove it- ie- the thing does not come to a conclusion that manifests it's "truishness", how does one know? One does not.

One does not know anything. And some ones know even less.

Which is frustrating to science. Love, for example. So now science is looking for the mechanistic causes of love -- pherones (sp) or whatever. Science can't accept that if love exists (which is unprovable but seems on the basis of overwhelming anecdotal evidence to be true) it is without any physical or material explanation. That would violate a basic tenant of science which is taken on faith.
