Do things only exist if humans have proof ?
Do things only exist if humans have indispensable proof? This seems to be the backbone of many arguments. Can things exist that humans are completely unaware of ?

this is an ontological and epistemological question. We verify things to make them “real” to us. This doesn’t imply that objects don’t exist if we don’t recognize them.
But we also have a thing called imagination. And since we are creative creatures, and imagination certainly has it place for us to grow, we can also mistakenly use that same imagination and interpret objects grossly wrong without a basis of understanding the true nature of a thing.
This is definitely seen with certain mindsets in the world, who solely use imagination and say the sky is a being or the water has a personality. This is most likely done without understanding the true nature of these things empirically.
