can you really prove anything?

Answer 1

Yes, but only in conditional statements. For instance: If I am really typing a message to post over the Internet, there must be a me and there must be an Internet.

New evidence is always possible so all proved facts are only proved, provided that my sense of reality is actual. If it is not, and I think it is... then my proved statement is still true because of the if clause's ability to encompass the indicative/proved statement.

This would cause the statement to become a contrary to fact, proven, statement.

Answer 2

I can prove that I am not omniscient.

The proof:
If I were omniscient, I would score 100 percent best answers.
My percentage of best answers is only 66 percent.
Therefore, I am either not omniscient, or I actually am omniscient, but I enjoy pretending to be dumber than I actually am.

If you believe that I am actually omniscient, but just pretending to be dumb, then I have some high-yield stock in a tapioca company that I would love to sell you. The proof, as they say, is in the pudding.

Answer 3

Religion is the perfect justification for tyranny, because it doesn't require an ounce of reason or a shred of proof.

Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear.

Answer 4

Hi..Some kinds of proof are easier to accept than others... Mathematical proof, for example, is generally accepted as certain... You can demonstrate that" two plus two is four"... Scientific proof is merely considered “highly probable”... You can demonstrate that an experiment works out the same way every time you’ve performed it in the past, but you can’t demonstrate that it will continue to work out that way every time you perform it in the future... In science, there’s always room for doubt; so, you can’t ever really say something’s scientifically true for absolute certain.... :) ..
Kind regards!:)

Too much subjective reality, hmmm? Just finish a Descartes lecture?
How's this: No, no you can't. You can only act and offer your actions as proof. What they mean, well.... that's another subject...
