I repeat - I am under no obligation to prove that. I didn't make claims that [concept] is proven fact. You need to turn to PROLIFE with your probing questions. Some of [his] assertions would benefit greatly from them. (OK. Let's pretend for a moment that I DID prove to you that I am indeed human. So what, I say. We haven't advanced the real topic here one bit ... the argument over the personhood of the zygote.) I can prove that the indefinite integral of 1/x is ln x. (or is it the other way around ... it's been a while) But I cannot prove to anyone outside the boundaries of myself that I even exist. Proof is a thorny thing! (I think I already said that.) When dealing in things that aren't abstractions, proof becomes fraught with colliding premises. I can prove (or at least refer you to texts!) that we Homo Sap types evolved from something fishlike; would you accept such a proof?
