Not without faith. Blind dialectics (deconstruction without end) dissolve all things and makes knowledge impossible, including eventually at the end its own process. This is the true conclusion of scientism and atheism ("Skeptics"), if it was honest and self-aware of its own retarded contradictions. But these pseuds are nothing but dishonest.

>Isn't gasoline you put in the car different than water
And every particle of that gasoline is distinct and different from every other gasoline particle, therefore I say that the gasoline as a single object is not real, there's only the different molecules. Oh the molecules make up a whole because they're similar? Well the water exists and the gasoline exist, now they are one and not two because they're the same on this level of distinction.
Sameness and difference is infinitely variable, everything is like and unlike on some level, there's no empirically objective way to decide how much sameness is enough to make a collective into a whole, or how much difference is necessary to divide a whole into two distinct beings.

What pebble?
The object you call pebble is mental construct, if there's not truly a real object there then there's nothing there to move, all objects are illusory thus there's no movement.

'Is' is derived from Ought.
Objects and isnesses don't just float around in space independently of consciousness. Objectness is a presentation, or projection, of mind. The atoms overthere don't think they're more together with the atoms we call that book than the air molecules around it. Pick a random atom and, objectively, it makes an object with every other atom everywhere as much as any other thing we call real. Or rather no objects are independently real from our evolved perception of particles. We recognize patterns because they matter to us, we have an Ought to see the Book as a thing rather than the air molecule abd every third page of the no-longer a book.
Ought>Is. Just like Word doesn't mean Word objectively, every 'thing' is Intersubjective presentation.
If I studied philosophy this would be the foundation to my PhD, but I am not, so fuck you.

>Muh Justified True Belief
Why do you have this statement together with a picture of Plato?
He said belief is not knowledge, and especially not justifed belief. Perhaps you'd know that if you finished Theaetetus and Republic, or even Parmenides.
