I don't think you know what you're saying. What evidence do you have which justifies the belief in the uniformity of nature? More to the point, what evidence do you have that your evidence is evidence? What evidence do you have that your idea of evidence is correct? And what evidence would justify that evidence?

People cannot be objective by definition, since they are subjective creatures. The only possible source of objectivity would be a universal and transcendent knowledge-giver (as opposed to knowledge-receiver).
