I am not certain why my responses are getting cut off, but they are.... anyway.... You are comparing apples and oranges a bit here. Taking out the paradox of the religious researcher who according to your statement would have to be certain that God exists, let's ask a Atheist physicist to admit that they can not say for certain that gravity exists. We assume it does because of the empirical evidence we have to back it, but then many religious people have personal empirical evidence that God has touched their lives.
