Do unicorns exist?

Question

I am going to prove to you that there exists a unicorn. To do this I have to prove the (possibly) stronger statement that there exists an existing unicorn. (By an existing unicorn I of course mean one that exists.) Surely if there exists an existing unicorn, then there must exist a unicorn. So all I have to do is prove that an existing unicorn exists. Well, there are exactly two possibilities:

(1) An existing unicorn exists.

(2) An existing unicorn does not exist.

Possibility (2) is clearly contradictory: How could an existing unicorn not exist? Just as it is true that a blue unicorn is necessarily blue, an existing unicorn must necessarily be existing.

lol its just a paradox don't all have a go at me. Anyway how do you know if you've never met one, they might just be shy...

Answer 1

There is a huge possibility that unicorns exist. There are so many species of animals living on uncharted places in the world that still live undiscovered... there is a chance. After all, it is just a horse with a horn jutting out of its forehead. There are whales with a horn growing from their face, so why can't there be horses? Even if they don't exist on Earth, there is a chance of them existing on other unknown planets. Even if they don't exist now, they at least used to.

Answer 3

Santa exists. Leprechauns exist, Zeus exists, and unicorns exist. As for the so-called "god", nah, it doesn't exist. Science is proving that concept wrong. Actually, none exist, but all are more plausible to me than deities (but Zeus was a cool one).

Answer 4

Because a unicorn is an imaginary creature. Just because you write something doesn't mean it exists. If that was so then I am a rich man and world peace will be declared in exactly 2 minutes...

Answer 5

Unicorns may have existed, but like so many animals on this planet they are now extinct. Just because no fossils of a unicorn have been found doesn't mean they didn't exist, it's just that none have been found....yet!

Answer 6

However you fiddle it, it boils down to yes or no, word games are NOT evidence. It would be great for lovers of wildlife if such a thing existed, but in the real world Unicorns belong to children, if only for a few years.

Answer 7

So if you reverse the order, then they don't exist? This is not a paradox, just bad logic.
Of course, narwals and rhinos do indeed exist, so you are right, of course. As to the mythical Medieval unicorn, they will not deign to enter a world which has rejected magic as thoroughly as we have. They prefer where they are.

Answer 8

I can honestly tell you When I took my daughters to the Barnum-Baily circus in NY many years ago. They brought out a small unicorn. I hope they don't see this but the media exposed them as goats with a device on there heads.

Answer 9

I'm sorry honey, but, ummmmm..... unicorns DO NOT exist or exit. I hope I set the record strait. LOL

Answer 10

Could've been "strap ons". As a person will attach an artificial phallus to their body so too maybe warriors strapped on horns to their horses heads. Or perhaps it is Equestrian dressage? They are also a form of symbolism somewhere and as someone mentioned with the examples of other horned headed creatures they may well have existed but are rare or now extinct.
A good question !
