so much observed reality (physics, astronomy, cosmology, geology, biology...

That is your error.
Physics is not reality. A proton is.
Astronomy is not reality. Stars are.
Evolution is not reality. Mutation, birth, death, etc. are.

How do you know that protons exist and that stars are balls of hot gas like our sun? Theories of physics and astronomy tell us these things and many other things besides. You pick and choose the evidence that you want to accept according to whether it matches folk tales of bronze-age middle-eastern animal herders who were probably highly intelligent but had no conception of any of these things. They had myths that made sense to them but that make no sense in the light of modern physical knowledge.
