Do you mean to say that reality consists only of that which you can observe?
Let us take for example abiogenesis. Has it ever been observed?
nothing more. But I'm pretty sure that one day scientists will be able to test
it for accuracy, in which case it will turn out to be correct or, at the very least,
they'll be one step closer to the truth about the origin of life.
And I never said reality is limited to what we can observe. I said all we can
know about reality is what we can observe.

But I suppose that's a subject for a different thread.
