    If you want some deeper philosophical insights on the matter, you can check David Hume. He asked and gave an answer to a similar question. He talked about miracles, cause and effect and our foundations of knowledge.

    You can also look at the discussions around the validity of inductive reasoning as a means of knowledge and what that means for science.

    They are pretty fascinating discussions.
