You've just made a very long list of gap arguments.
Let's start with solipsism. In an absolute sense, I have no real proof of anything. However, I have experiences, and those experiences come in patterns from which I can draw inferences. That doesn't mean there's any truth underlying the patterns-- only that the patterns themselves exist. I do not know why I see shapes and color-- but I do know that when I have the experience of looking in a mirror, the face looking back is (fairly) consistently organized. I know that when I have the experience of looking at people, their faces are (fairly) consistent as well-- so consistent that I can meaningfully refer to a face as "Joe's face" or "Suzy's face."
It makes sense for me, therefore, to talk about people as real. Whether or not I'm in a BIJ and imagining everything, at least those experiences are consistent. So are my experiences with reading about things. Every time I open a book, it has the same content. Is it a projection of data from the Matrix? I cannot know.
But NONE of this leads to a factual statement about me, or anyone else, being a "fallen angel." That idea is not connected to any of the consistent experiences that I, or anyone here but you, has had.
