My college math professor proved that 1 = 0 but I forget how he did it.

Well, there is no such thing as absolute, certain proof, is there? So yes, you can.
It happens in Courtrooms, despite all efforts, that innocents are wrongly convicted, upon some so-called "proof".
And there are logical proofs that have wrong facts, so "Garbage in, garbage out".
On the Quantum level, there is Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, which seems to apply almost to anything, if you want it to.
So I'd say yes you can. "Proof" is relative. Human knowledge is always uncertain, and probably always contains reasonable doubt.
With a little imagination, I'd be tempted to say that only God could NOT prove a lie, but that the Devil could.
[ But I don't believe in the Devil so,.,.,.,.,]

Yes you can, if you lived in a society that did not fell so emotional attacted to using logic as pragmatic system of socialism agreement. Or not as long as it a "man's world".
I've been just noticing how much men pride themselves on their logic, while trying to mantain their emotions.
Also, logic seems to be more collective agreed apond, maybe because their were mostly emotionally numb men at the head of the decision table.

A lie is a lie, proving it is again a lie. It may sound logical after twisting the facts but it's definitely unproffesional and unethical.

I believe so. Logic is something, truth is something else.
Well I can say I am an ape, it is something not true or a lie, but I can prove it logically that since we evolved from apes then we are apes!
I hope I'm making sense.

No. but there is a way to tell if someone is fabricating (lying) when they are talking to you. When people lie, they tend to look to the right. (because the right side of the brain is the creative side, they are in essence "creating a story" whereas, when people look to the left, the left side of the brain is where prior knowlegde is pulled from[facts])

LIES ARE PROPORTED AS TRUTH ALL THE TIME ---AND ARE DONE SO --BY--USE OF LOGIC----logic is a bendable commodity--very akin to rationalization--and rationalization is the method by which the "truth" is created from lies
People coming to logical conclusions are consistently wrong about alot of things--so--they have tendencies to bellieve in something that is wrong BECAUSE OF the logic they've used

That is what brain washing is all about. Proof beyond doubt the lie is indeed the truth.
