This is getting ridiculous, and farther and farther from the point at hand, so perhaps we should get back to the points at hand.

We have some assumptions that are widely accepted because they have been extensively tested for compatibility with the observable laws governing the physical universe. We have other assumptions, frequently wildly incompatible with those laws, which are accepted because somebody said they came from God.

We have some people who believe that we must decide for ourselves what rules are to govern our conduct. Others belive that appropriate rules are revealed to us by people who claim to be in touch with God.

All philosophical writhings aside, if you don't see any difference between these groups, you're not looking.

Please refrain from using terms like "know", "prove", "right", "wrong", etc., because they really have no relevance at all to the question at hand.
