Again, what motivates you to make an insulting comment? Is that what you call debating? Are you familiar with the term 'ad hominem'? It means "attacking a person's character or motivations rather than a position or argument", which is exactly what you did in post #287.
It is a fact of the misuse of 'proof''as defined in the English language. The 'stupid idiots are those that misuse the English language and fo not know the proper use of 'proof.'
Proof does not apply Methodological Naturalism in science, nor can subjective beliefs in religions be proven. The use of proof is best reserved for proving math theorems

In
mathematics, a
theorem is a
statement that has been
proved, or can be proved.
[a][2][3] The
proof of a theorem is a
logical argument that uses the inference rules of a
deductive system to establish that the theorem is a
logical consequence of the
axioms and previously proved theorems.
The concept of proof may apply to structured logical arguments, but the problem is in logical arguments may not be true, because accepting the the conclusion is dependent on accepting the premise, To use proof in this context you must first present the logical argument. Simple demands to prove this or that are meaningless especially in academic science and history,
A classic problem in logical arguments are the old circular apologetic arguments where the premise assumes a 'Source such as God as the conclusion claims.
This is a chronic problem among many Theists demanding proof in arguments and claiming proof when their is none. It is beyond time for those that post to be responsible for this 'idiocy' of this misuse of the English language.
Scientists, those that use intelligent language, and non-believers do not use 'proof' to define their arguments when there is none
Answer (1 of 8): You don’t prove anything in science. The very word ‘prove’ is taboo. What you do is to accumulate evidence, through observations and/or experiments, and eventually reach a conclusion about whether, on balance, a particular claim is likely to be correct. And if your conclusion is...

The word “proof” is used in several senses. For example: it describes the proportion of alcohol in alcoholic beverages.
In the sense of “removal of doubt” the word has no meaning in science.
In deductive logic, a “proof” starts with assumptions (called “axioms” or “postulates,” then follows strict rules of logic to reach a “theorem.” The theorem is as valid as the assumptions and the correct use of logic.
In science the word means “test.,” as it does in “proving ground” where military ordnance is tested. Theories are tested by comparing predictions derived from the theory against observation and/or experiment. (And: an experiment is simply an observation under tightly controlled conditions.)
Are you willing to use 'proof' by its proper definition and use?.
