All outward objects; that is, sense objects, and all inward objects; that is, abstract ideas, can only be real because they are all useful to intelligent consciousness in some creative way. Whatever is useful has to be real. Literally everything that humans can experience happens to be useful to humans in some creative way, and therefore, has to be real.
Even ideas and words that mean nothing nevertheless are real because intelligent consciousness knows to discard them so that they do not clutter the field of human knowledge. The real idea of nothing causes humans to be able to logically deduct that useless ideas and words mean nothing. The idea of nothing is a useful and creative idea. The idea of nothing makes all that is useless useful because it causes humans to know to discard the useless. Useless ideas and words become useful and creative when they are discarded.
All of this means that everything of which intelligent consciousness can be conscious must be real. Intelligent consciousness happens to be that very engine of the universe that creates reality. Intelligent consciousness can form combinations of sense object and/or thought objects that prove to be useful and creative systems that benefit humanity and increase the field of knowledge. Intelligent consciousness can also form false systems, but because of miscalculation, misapprehension, or hallucination, they always prove to mean nothing. But all systems, whether true or false, always comprise real ideas and /or sense objects. True systems are always real because they benefit humanity. False systems are also always real because, by the use of the idea of nothing that informs that they are useless, they can be usefully and creatively discarded.
This means false systems cannot be illusions. False systems always comprise true and real ideas and/or sense objects derived from conscious experience but simply put together in a false way. This means that reality happens to be constructed in a way that is very similar to mathematics. 2+3=5 is a useful system. 2+3=6 is a useless system even though every number and sign happens to be real. The false system has been discarded by humans because the idea of nothing informs that it is useless.
When humans discover that a particular system that they thought would be useful turns out to be useless, they usefully discard the false system, but they never discard the real ideas and/or sense objects that comprise that false system. Whenever humans discover that a particular system is useless, they use the useful and real idea of nothing to conclude that it means nothing, and therefore, must be usefully discarded from the field of human knowledge.
The skeptics contend that everything could be an illusion because intelligent consciousness cannot, for certain, tell the difference between reality and illusion. But illusion always happens to be found in false combinations of true and useful ideas and/or sense objects. That means illusion never really appears to consciousness. If a square tower appears to be "round" from a distance, that is only a misapprehension, not an illusion because "round" is real in a false system just as it is in a useful system. The real idea of "round" is still useful in other creative systems. Abstract thoughts and feelings are just as real as are sense objects for the same reason that a picture is just as real as is the camera and film that took it. Abstract thoughts and feelings are also useful for the creation of systems solely in the mind.
Some contend that because the mind cannot be known to be real, then everything is an illusion. But if everything were an illusion, the illusion would work the same as if everything were real. Therefore, one can only be correct if one judges everything as being real. In addition, if everything were an illusion, then that illusion can only be caused by an intelligent consciousness. That means intelligent consciousness can only be real because it alone produces reality, and therefore, it has to be something that is separate from reality, and yet, since it is also included in reality and makes everything it experiences real, then it makes itself real because of self-consciousness.
Since reality cannot exist without intelligent consciousness, then all universes without intelligent consciousness cannot be real. Therefore, God has always existed to make our universe real.
