Will that hold up in a court of law? That "we make our own reality- everything is subjective" idea will get you exactly nowhere in the actual world of actual things. You can't assert that nothing can be proven conclusively, because that implies that nothing is certain, which means you are essentially asserting that nothing can be asserted. That doesn't work.
