Goodness, I hope I haven't implied that I'm so self important that I wouldn't approve of another contributors differing opinion or thought. The basis for my post was to spring board from another contributor's thought and add on to it, not that it needed it; just sharing what it made me think of.

I also wasn't asking anyone to prove their thoughts or theories
to me, I was trying to state that if you have a differing thought or opinion, freely state it, but share with your readers the facts you believe contribute to the theory, not so we can reject it, but so we may receive it with clarity and understanding.
I can only speak for myself, but I enjoy the sharing of ideas and thoughts, even when I don't agree with them. Subjectivity is something that should always be open for respectful debate! If I have caused anyone to feel as though I have "rejected" their thoughts or theories, I apologize, sincerely. If I have come across that way, please allow me to offer a virtual handshake and call a truce to anyone I may have offended. I will also explain something personal about myself that may be helpful to how I am received. I am contrarian by nature; it is how I learn. I don't know if you are familiar with Richard Feynman, but he was a scientist who gave several famous commencement speeches. His exploration of science and the theories he developed come from a basis of humility, a trait I deeply respect and admire. He has a quote where he says scientific integrity is "bending over backwards to show how you may be wrong.", which completely appeals to the contrarian in me. I question everything, myself included, I explore why an idea could be right and why it could be wrong and if anyone perceives me poking holes in their theories please know it's because I poke a dozen, if not more, in my own before posting. I don't post theories for a need to be "right", that's just not interesting, at all. I post for the sake of learning and/or gaining new perspectives I may not have previously stumbled onto on my own. I post because I would like others to poke holes in my theory, where I may have overlooked. Also, here's another trait of mine, when I post thoughts, theories, or facts I tend to over explain and sometimes run the risk of coming across as a know it all, and believe me, I do
not know it all. All I am hoping to achieve in that, is to give this community the respect it deserves by over explaining to show that I have put quite a bit of consideration and thought into my thoughts/theories, presenting the facts I believe support it, and articulating it in a way that supports ease of reader's understanding (ex: is what I'm saying easily understandable or is it muddy due to being too heavy on words, or is it not well supported by facts or logic?). That's just me and I don't have to be right, as I stated earlier, that's not interesting. I have learned a tremendous amount from the posters here, even the ones I haven't necessarily agreed with. If I can pay that back, or even forward by I passing a nugget or two along of what I've picked up along the way, then that's all I can hope for!
p.s.: I actually don't remember where I stumbled upon "proving a negative". It has a scientific basis rather than debate and is used in forensics, law, mathematics, and other sciences so I probably came across it in school somewhere.
