What is Proof:..??? The following "should" clear up this
controversy...

Webster - 1. "a way or means of showing beyond a doubt the
truth of something"
2. "the condition of having been tested
and approved"
3. "that which is tested against something
of value"

Seems that in order to "prove" something, according to
Webster, it needs to be "tested" against something else of
value or context. In that context of thinking then we are
Born <some are hatched> grin... and we Die -- this is for
certain. The date and time of these events are however by
nature - "relative", although sometimes they are given as
facts. Everything in between in our life is therefore also
"relative" and needs to be "tested" against other "relative"
factors of value, which BTW need to be "tested" too.... In
conclusion -- If enough of these "relative" factors "prove"
to be the same or identical, then, we can "assume" the
facts we gathered are correct...!!!

Given the above FACTs, which I hope clear up this
controversy,,,,

.... My mother always told me " NEVER " assume anything.!!

Darn....I sure hope they get it right on my tombstone....

Pepperoni and onions...smothered with cheese....
