I'm not weighing in with the aim of convincing anyone of anything, as debating isn't part of my skill set, and I'm more fond of lightly playing with ideas. Keeping this in mind, one idea I've toyed with (and seen discussed more seriously here and elsewhere) is that we could be inside something akin to a VR simulation. This VR could be programmed in such a way that consistent physical laws would be convincingly and consistently emulated, yet at the same time provide for interruptions of those laws under special conditions, thus allowing for things like LoA or psychic phenomena. The net effect would still be pretty much the same as that of being born into, and growing up in, an objective reality.
