Let me try it this way.
I have a cardboard box that is 1 cubic meter = 1m x 1m x 1m
It is completely sealed up and the contents are unknown,
I am making the claim that an IMP is inside the box.
I believe an IMP exists inside the box. I believe this to be true.
What evidence do I have to hold such a belief ?
My answer "Just look at that tree. That tree is my evidence. That tree cannot exist if an IMP is not inside the box. I could not exist if an IMP is not inside the box. All of my thoughts and consciousness itself are evidence of an IMP inside the box."
Does my answer sound rational ? Or does it sound irrational ?
