What is Proof?

Asked by RealEyesRealizeRealLies (30951points) October 2nd, 2009

Does Proof equal Truth? Or is Proof the result of a proposition being True Enough? Is there such a thing a absolute Proof?

Fluther knows when my computer logs on because a distinct I.P. address is associated with that task. Is that data considered absolute Proof?

If a video tape surfaced that showed Christ rising from the dead, is that considered absolute Proof? Would that confirm the supposed eye witness accounts?

My child spilled his milk right in front of my eyes this morning. Is there any Proof that he actually did that?

Is Proof always a form of data? Or can it be pure experiential in nature? Does a thing called Proof actually exist? Is it good enough?

Does Science set out to Prove a thing, or to disprove all other possibilities instead?

If God herself looked you in the eye and said, “I AM”... Is that proof of her existence?
