Call me back when a creature has been cyropreserved and then fully restored, and we can use the language of certainty, and talk in terms of “believing in the future”.
You can do better than that, for example, what if you die and after a X years, people are routinely reanimated and live healthy lives at whatever age they wish? You would feel like Mr Silly then, if you were alive at least you would.
If you wait for being able to talk about something “in the language of certainty” then you also advocate ignoring existential risks, as when they happen, it is all over. Is this very rational?
There are ways if you feel like using your brain to get close to “certainty”(defined as the probability of occurrence being above some number between 0 and 1) belief in some event occurring without observing it occurring. Science is not fast after all.
