To which a Muslim might reply:

Did Jesus rise from the dead?  No, I don't think so.  Mohammed did.

Of course, to someone like Ken (or the Muslim), the difference between the
two statements is obvious:  HIS (Ken's or the Muslim's, respectively, assuming
a male Muslim) statement is OBVIOUSLY the correct one.  How does HE know
this?  It's based on found inner knowledge and personal experience?  Ask why
the "other HE"'s statement is incorrect, each HE would say:  "What he thinks
he believes is simply based on incorrect assumptions and faulty reasoning,
whereas what *I* believe is really true."

So much for the veracity of subjectively obtained "knowledge".

Nothing like unbiased opinion and objective knowledge in forming opinions
about the universe...  :-(
