The evidence of shared experience says you are almost certainly wrong.
I think now that OP is promoting solipsism, after all, it is, by the same faulty reasoning, wholly unnecessary to postulate the existence of other people.
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them.
