Your empirical data is limited by our perception.

Do you really think we know all of the forces at work, that we can perceive them or detect them with the tools we have?

Its rather arrogant to think that we know even "most" of how the universe works, let alone all of it... and if you can admit that we know very little overall, then the empirical data we do have has a lot less weight...
