Your claim that all the evidence supports your belief is based on limiting the evidence to material evidence

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.

Divine revelation.

And that premise is taken on faith and a desire for relevancy. Which means the ability of others to perceive and verify the empirical evidence you rely on is also based on faith. How, at root, is naturalism not based on faith?
