Yea we've made quite a few mistakes as a nation but I like to think we're improving. I mean it wasn't just God, we were founded under slavery too. One pernicious institution down, one to go.

don't forget genocide, labor camps, indentured servitude, racism other than slavery and genocide, isolationism, and last but certainly not least capitalism .. just to name a few.

sensory / perception wall thing. only conceptual things like deductive logic and mathematics are provable.

everything else is measured with relative degrees of certainty, approaching but never reaching 1/1

nope, your parents fucked, sex cells merged, and out you came from your mother's body. physical things that are provable. that's not random, but a measurable chain of events.

Statisticians would argue that these degrees of certainty can be predictive, which is useful, but these physical things are not "provable" in the absolute philosophical sense.
