The best I can say is that all of the evidence supports my claim. Your theory is possible and I can't prove it flase, but there is no evidence to support your position, other than your personal belief.

Your claim that all the evidence supports your belief is based on limiting the evidence to material evidence. That limitation has no evidence other than your personal belief. If you can prove that empirical evidence is the only valid evidence, please do so. I'd be interested in it. Until that proof is demonstrated, naturalism is stuck in the boat of faith along with every other belief system.

What other kind of evidence is there? As mentioned earlier, evidence needs to be of a character that allows more than one person to perceive it. Otherwise, it's completely irrelevant.

Your point earlier that I can't prove the existence of anyone else is true. However, unless we agree on the premise that we all exist, all discussions are completely irrelevant.
