Let me give an example:
Neo has given us the split between God + objective values, and meaningless chaos + imputed values.

But, even if there is no God, and even if there are no objective values, Neo could still believe there were, and act in exactly the same way. Does this not make his values and his God real? Well, the effect is exactly the same. Does it matter if his God is real and if his values are not objective? I'm not sure it does. Can Neo prove his God is real? NO. Can anyone disprove it? No.
