There are multiple sources which all corroborate their existence. If they did
not exist, there would be problems explaning our world.
This is different to the Gods people have believed in, in which, if they did
not exist, would not cause any explanatory problems.

Not all of it. There are some things people say are true, which I know are
not, and there are some things people say are not true, which I know are.
As for things that I did not see, such as the Cambrian explosion, my adherence
to that truth is as strong as it needs to be. The more doubt I have, or more
specifically, the more the possibility that there is room that I am wrong, the
less forceful I am with that belief.
