1. I exist.
  2. The Universe exists.
  3. You exist.
  4. Thoughts exist.
  5. Symbols exist.
  6. Information exists.
  7. Language exists.
  8. Communications exists.

If we are communicating then know that this list could be arranged differently. Could be shorter or longer. But, I think that the sense of this is clear. Sentient beings can communicate. If a sentient being denies this then he proves it for how could he know to even want to reply. Only a being that can comprehend this could be provoked to respond by it.
