Do you claim that everything you believe can be proved? I believe that I am self-aware, that murder is wrong, and that I love my wife. You can either accept those beliefs as true, false, or say you don’t know, but I cannot prove it.

You are a very large chemical molecule consisting of nothing more than protons, neutrons and electrons. Evolution has configured your particles in such a way that they can store information like silicon atoms do in a computer. The information you contain is called "memes". Love, Self awareness, and "murder is wrong" are good examples of memes. Memes evolve and are passed on to the next generation just like genes. If you have any proof that you contain anything else, please supply it and I will change my mind.

I just said that I can’t prove it. Maybe if you posted in a more moe appropriate way it would demonstrate that you are able to read.

You have just made a statement of what you believe without any proof BTW.
