State your position calmly. What are you trying to say?

Using insults doesn't make you right.

Its a common, clear, and logic extension of the scientific process that you cannot prove a negative. I dont gets whats so complicated about this. Please since you are such an expert in the ways of calmly stating positions give me 1 single example of proving a negative with science.

This reads very, "Well, I ask a four year old if they are a dragon they might say yes, and I know they are not a dragon!"

Yes, there are cases where information can lead you to an answer in a binary question. The more basic the question, the easier this is. But the more complex a problem becomes, the harder it is to disprove.

You can't just say N doesn't equal N(P) because it can't. Prove it.
