we all know that there are questions in life and we all know that sometimes there are answers, but are the answers right or wrong?. sometimes we have proof that some answers are right, but what is really proof?, who decides that proof is right. some people think that if they can see it and understand it, then its proven. but then another question pops and says can they really see it and understand it. and mabe questions and answers are the meaning of life. any thoughts?

I see what you mean, proof is difficult hmm.gif we can't really be sure anything is certain.. we what widely accept no would have been proven impossible in the past. i suppose we have to proof as somthing widely accepted curruntly?

For me, something is proven either mathematically or through experiments that repeatedly give the same conclusion. Even if 1 person does prove something, I would need others to make sure the proof is correct. Also, the answers to questions we don't really know the answer to are theories. We pretty much have to accept one of these theories until it is either proven true or some other theory makes better sense of the question.

Don't sweat over this happy.gif look at science... it continuosly changes its 'facts' and 'proofs'... what is proof today maybe turn out to be inaccurate tommorow... then you have the courtroom, in some cases, so called 'proof' is proved to be wrong by another lawyer...(no pun intended...lol)
See, each of us question the principles and aspects of life in one way and others in another... each of us believe in something another wont. We all have our 'own' proof within us, our choices make up what is proof. Man can show what proof he wants, its up to you to acknowledge it or not... wink2.gif

The answers to easy questions do not require proof. The answers to hard questions often do not have any.

I think that questions are individual , personal , ..emanating from a single mind .And thus , the answers to those questions are individual and personal , too. Those answers don't need proof on an individual level . Proof is needed , when you are trying to convince somebody else .
