For example:

Did this really happen?

How do you differentiate between the two?

Or as a more direct example, any ancient text which contains things which we know to be impossible, but were helped with the power of a god. There are many stories from many different cultures.

How do you tell which one is true and which is not with no evidence of any being true?

You work within a context, i.e. why would you need to know if it is true? Some events do not concern us, so I have no motive/reason to find out if they are true or not.

Confused about which religion is true? How can I know?
