No, they actually create pairs of entangled particles in experiments

Hmmmmm... how do they 'create' this entanglement?

If the entangled pairs are 'created', then it's not really proof of any natural occurrence, is it ?

Also their claim that one of the pair could be 'here', and the other somewhere billions of miles away out in the Universe... also precludes any possible 'proof'.

Different methods. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_entanglement#Methods_of_creating_entanglement

“If the entangled pairs are ‘created’, then it’s not really proof of any natural occurrence, is it ?”

They can be created by us, but they are also created routinely by natural processes. For example, in any atom that has more than one electron in an orbital, there is a natural entanglement.

“Also their claim that one of the pair could be ‘here’, and the other somewhere billions of miles away out in the Universe... also precludes any possible ‘proof’.”

Yes, obviously we can’t directly observe any entanglement of that distance, so that type of talk is probably just extrapolation. Quantum mechanics is non-local, so a vast distance like that has no effect on an entanglement.
