# I would have thought that there is clearly no defined objective reality.
To claim that there is is the height of conceit.

# No, I just do not accept that any theory is fact.
I always doubt.

# but that's a different question
I also don't believe that any theory is fact.

But I believe in the existence of an objective reality and that this reality has structure. Some parts of it are self evident and cannot be proved and disporved (e.g. 1+1=2) whereas for some other we need more elaborate techniques. Science (or the scientific method) provides a framework to develop and evaluate tools to construct a representation of this reality.
