When the probability of something gets high enough then I use the word
proof unless I am being pedantic which I can be, at times. And yes I
realize that nothing in the natural or even the supernatural world is
proven 100%, it all has varying degrees of probability. This is one
characteristic of what it means to be a finite person. What we see as
reality could in fact simply be a simulation on a large computer where
the recalculation interval is planck time, I don't think so but I can't
prove it one way or the other. In the sense that you are using proof I
can't even prove that my wife is a person.
In this case you are preaching to the choir.
