"Personally I believe that absolute certainty should be left to religious
bigots."
Well so do I-however, in some areas, the degree of correspondance between
theoretical prediction and empirical verification either indicates the
miraculous or that the minds of humans have grasped aspects of an
externally existing world to a remarkably high degree. I have already
cited GR as an example but QED is perhaps a better example as it predicts
properties of electrons to within 1 part in 10 to the fourteen.
 I leave the miraculous to those of a religious persuasion..
