I think you can't get past your own obsessions. I am an engineer and I look at physics and chemistry in terms of the reliability of the descriptions. When the laws appear to apply in all instances, that is why they are called "laws." When they don't, they are modified or supplanted. I'm pretty sure you know all this, but you just cave into the "we can never know" school of thought, which is useless. Would you bet your life on it? In my profession, we have to.
Even you don't "get" the evidence. It is not a matter of whether something is "conclusive" (of what?) or "compelling" (toward what?). It is a matter of "What is going on here?"
It seems like everyone who tells me to "open myself" operates with an idee fixe. I've had to think "outside the box" countless times, and reduce that to a design concept. Frankly, I think this admonition is a way to attain egalitarianism by the normalization of ignorance. All this "be open minded," and damn little "read a book and get wise." It doesn't take any effort to be open minded. It takes a lot of effort to learn and understand.
