Other ways of knowing?

No, I do not.

A blind person would have lifetime of experience that clearly demonstrates to him that a sense called “sight” exists. The people around him would be constantly doing things like telling him to stop before he walks into a wall, etc. They could not do this if they were not able to sense things he could not.

In fact, someone raised a similar point to yours in a Facebook group. His point was easily refuted by posing a simple experiment, in which the blind person is given three balls of identical size and weight, but one is red and the other two black. The three balls are placed on a table, and the blind person is told which one is the red one. The sighted person then leaves the room, and the blind person can move then into any arrangement he wishes, being careful to keep track of the red one. The sighted person then returns to the room and, of course, picks out the red ball every time,

You cannot demonstrate your sensus divinatis in any similar manner. Can you?
