No, I think I DO believe that it is impossible to
prove that there are no "other planes of reality",
or whatever we're calling them.  And who are you
to tell me what I believe?!

I sense a circularity here.  I bet you're going to define "reasonable"
so it explicitly excludes belief in anything outside this world.

I maintain that it is perfectly reasonable to doubt that what you
think of as reality is all there is.  (It may not be USEFUL to doubt
this, but that's a different issue.)

By the way, shouldn't you be consistent, and argue that we DO
know some things, since you are trying to PROVE that there are
no other planes of reality?
