I'm torn as to wether you are a solipsist or a conspiracy nutter. If the first, I have only the answer that we act in such a way that what we perceive reinforces our perception and model of the universe. We know the earth rotates the sun because the models we have that state this are very very strong, because all the data points to this. We believe in special and general relativity, for example, because the data we get from reality corroborates it.

If you are a conspiracy nutter then I'd be happy to tear apart your silliness later.
