Proving Myth

Nothing is truly "provable." to prove something is to say it always is entirely true. Nothing is entirely true with no exceptions. Even gravity is a theory. Science that is supposedly proven is based on non proven theories. therefor myth like everything else cannot be proven. For some people though there is proof of myths being true. Myths are often used to explain things in our world that we don't understand. For someone the fact that lightning exists would be proof that Zeus exists and that he created lightning. For others it would be proof of positively charged and negatively charged atoms sending electricity to each other. Myth is what makes up our world. myths are everywhere and sometimes they are common belief. Who is to say that zeus doesn't create lightning and that we don't go to the realm of Hades when we die. The only way myth or anything else can be proved to someone is if they believe. Proof doesn't exist in the world so we must find it in ourselves to prove it for us to be irrevocably true. We create proof. Proof exists inside each and everyone of us.
