We have no "absolute knowledge" as this is simply not open to us. All our knowledge is faith based. We TRUST that our perceptions of the cosmos are based on some degree of reliability, and that our brains sort these perceptions into some degree of order that corresponds to what is really "there." Theists have no problem with this. In fact, science itself is a Christian child, as it was originally based on the presuppositions above, plus the belief that the cosmos was a reflection of the Creator in its order, beauty and ability to reflect the "glory" of the Creator.

Simply magnificent, chronic_loser! Thank you so much for this beautiful essay/post. And thanks, Alamo-Girl, for bringing it to my attention.
