Micah,

You have claimed "the world does not exist apart from human observation".
I claim it does.
You say my claim is "only an assumption".
Prove to me yours is not.
If they are both unprovable assumptions, why is yours better?

You state "the world does not exist apart from human observation".
Prove to me that world exists apart from YOUR observation.
If you can't, explain to me how you jump from YOUR observation to 
HUMAN observation in your claim.
Meaning, you really can't say "apart from human observation". All you 
can say is "MY observation".
Solipsism.

You say, "That you are faith based, a social quality."
And you are not? Or is this just another "Everything is faith-based, 
so everything is equally idiotic" argument?
I'm with Case on this one, "solipsism" may be smug bar conversation, 
but it ain't pragmatic in any way I have ever seen.
Unless you're Ted Bundy... then solipsism pans out quite well.
