I don't understand why everyone is so quick to state their idea on this.
There is a distinction to be made that is not being made.
I know that something exists, and this is not disputed by any rational being.
Is this not objective knowledge completely devoid of subjective interpretation . . . thus making objective observation of phenomena possible?
So far no one has thought about shorter catechism Q101.
God is to be glorified "in all that whereby he maketh himself known . . ."
In order to glorify, one must know. God certainly makes himself known by creation . . . So, to glorify him as is our duty, are we not to glorify him by knowing him as he reveals himself in creation?
The knowledge is not the object itself, but your interpretation of your senses. And since this interpretation is relative to many things, it may not be objective. And it may not be the case that what you think you see is what it in fact is.Originally posted by knight4christ8

Because not one cannot do observation completely objectively does not mean that we cannot know or be certain of things.

It seems that you are either not considering the word "completely".
Saying that something exists is a long way from saying observation is completely objective.
