Do objects exists?

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters
We have no knowledge of material objects other than what comes through our senses. So material objects are combinations of sight, sound, feel, etc. These sensations (of sound, colour, feel, etc) exist only in our minds. It makes no sense to talk of a sensation which exists at this moment but no one is experiencing it. The feeling, or hearing, takes place only in the human subject. We know nothing of objects apart from these sensations. Therefore objects exist as sensations, not as something in themselves independent of our experience of them.
This "proof" is of course not a proof in the sense of an absolute certainty. On the other hand the existence of objects independent of our perceptions is not subject to proof either!
