Now we are talking about what is more useful. But when a believer in God talks about his belief being useful, all attack is on the poor lad, in that it proves nothing.
Philosophy has proven a lot in my opinion. But that's up to people to decide.

How so? Even if we were just brains in jars, those brains would still physically exist. Hence, there would still be a physical world, even if it was not what we were experiencing.
Brains in a jar, but not, souls in a different realm, experiencing the world via just our senses.
