Which makes your point (were you even making a point?) completely meaningless.

She should have died hereafter;
There would have been a time for such a word.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

-Macbeth (Shakespeare for you non readers)

all of you haven't even hit the 1900's with the thinking in this thread. langrisserx is doing their part very well too.

No point, just waxing poetic about science and what can and can not *currently be proven. I feel silly having to qualify my statements as being in the present.

It's not even just "the present". It's quite possible that in 2 minutes, an alien species will make contact and give us the technology necessary to prove these things. When you say something is impossible to prove, you make it sound like you are making an epistomological argument, not a practical one.

While I respect your devotion to the absolute of the possible - aliens aren't going to land on earth in two minutes and hand us advanced technology fundamentally changing our world view as a species - that's not practical. Would it be better if I stated that it is extremely unlikely that in the foreseeable near future we will be able to prove that anything exists beyond what we can observe and interaction with directly or otherwise? You're arguing semantics.

Literally had to tell him I wasn't going to argue semantics with him in another thread. LOL.

You literally had to tell me? As opposed to figuratively telling me?

And as I recall, you were the one to start arguing semantics in that other thread... You women and your poor grasp of logic. So cute when you try to participate in a meaningful conversation.

It's like seeing a monkey on rollerskates. It means nothing to them, but it's so adorable for us.
