Soul, you appear to have already made your conclusions about reality and you are trying to cram everything you see into those conclusions. Science is not philosophy, not mathematics and it is not religion. It is a tradition of mankind that tries to make an honest attempt to explore and explain reality. Not as man wants reality to be but as it is. Because it is done by men and not by gods there is no absolute viewpoint. There is no way to know if mankind has actually succeeded in knowing reality in any way, so all scientific knowledge is tentative. Science has not replace religion as the magicians of the cosmos even though many magical thinkers think that it has. Science is a very new idea in the history of mankind. An idea that you will not comprehend if you continue to study the ancient ideas you appear to be fond of. You must study science itself not what the philosophers tell you it is. The philosophers do not have a clue because they are still mired in the age of Plato and Aristotle (the Bronze Age).
