Isn't reality evidenced indirectly? After all, there are many institutionalized people who would not only argue with anyone concerning the nature of reality, but would indeed act upon it (hence the institutionalization).
Therefore what is directly evidenced? creationism?????

Salman Rushdie
This rudderless world is not shaped by vague metaphysical forces. It is not God who kills the children. Not fate that butchers them or destiny that feeds them to the dogs. It’s us. Only us. - the character Rorschach in Watchmen
