Interesting statement.

Do you not make decisions for yourself?
The evidence is in your decisions. As you make descisions and you are aware. You may have to live with the fact that you may never have your proof.

For some things there is no evidence and there never will be. It will just be a thought.

How do you explain choice in what we do?
What happens if you don't make a choice?
