Because you haven't made rational challenges to it.
This entire thread shows that to be either an outright lie, or ridiculous levels of incompetence.

Rather: you are completely unwilling or wholly incapable of engaging with any of the numerous arguments that have been written in this thread - which is why you just keep repeating yourself and dismissing every challenge.
Nothing I can say: then what the fuck are you doing talking to people if you're already so close-minded and certain of yourself?
more likely: please cite the data you used to compile your statistical analysis, and also supply that statistical analysis.
conclusion: to arrive at a conclusion, you need to provide some substantive argumentation, not just an argument from incredulity.
entities: your incompetence is genuinely perplexing - your own argument holds that there are no other entities at all, yet here you are once again fundamentally disabling your own position.
external: your incompetence is genuinely perplexing - your own argument holds that there is no external at all, yet here you are once again fundamentally disabling your own position.

Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties in Recognizing One's Own Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-Assessments
People tend to hold overly favorable views of their abilities in many social and intellectual domains. The authors suggest that this overestimation occurs, in part, because people who are unskilled in these domains suffer a dual burden: Not only do these people reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but their incompetence robs them of the metacognitive ability to realize it.

You clearly don't understand 'parsimony'. Parsimony doesn't say that the claim with the fewest parts is right, rather that there should be no more than necessary to explain a phenomenon. Your position explains nothing at all - and in fact, it outright fails in the face of the evidence. You have no answer at all for anything - your position is a faith position, a belief, and one you can't justify using reason or evidence.
And don't lie FW - the entire thread is still here, and everyone can read that you've been presented with a dozen or more challenges to your position, so characterizing all of them as just people saying 'it's nonsense' is bullshit.
The only person here who's refused to engage is you. And you've refused to engage in anything.
