Free will & the Conservation Laws

I'm not trying to be difficult, it really does seem like a barrier I can't get across without simply assuming it is true.

In my opinion you only need to abstain from solipsism as an axiom. Then, you can notice that other humans have the same rough behavior, origin and physical makeup as you do. This is sufficient evidence to put the burden of proof on the other side of the argument (that everyone else is a philosophical zombie)
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
