Where's the Proof (Part 4)

I contend that in our day and age, it is impossible to absolutely, positively prove anything. I believe that Americans did land on the moon; yet there are many skeptics who have claimed there is no absolute, undeniable proof that the moon landing was not faked by our government. There is no absolute, positive proof that OJ murdered his wife or that UFOs exist; yet a majority of the people on this planet believe both are true. If you look around and find your local neighborhood atheist they will tell you either Jesus Christ did not survive his crucifixion or that there is no absolute, undeniable proof that he ever existed. Yet I bet many would argue strongly against either statement. By definition, most atheists believe there is no such thing as God; yet I contend many would argue that point vigorously.

There is no absolute, undeniable proof that global warming is actually taking place; and there is no absolute, positive proof that it is not. Further, there is no absolute, undeniable proof that homo sapiens evolved from apes; and there is no absolute, positive proof that human evolution did not take place. Likewise, I believe it is impossible to to prove, without a shadow of doubt that someone is an immortal; and it is equally impossible to prove someone that real immortals do not exist.

I also believe it is not my purpose in life to prove, undeniably, that immortals do live among us. This is why I was not going to even bother to tell anyone about the immortal that I found. However, as I continued to research this remarkable man and heard his stories, it became very clear to me that I had to tell the world that I found such a man and present his stories; even if I cannot offer scientific evidence that this man is older than 150 years.

I found an interesting quote on the web: “Truth is what opposites have in common”. Hopefully believing man did walk on the moon is not the only truth we have in common.

So close and yet so far. I have lived for 308 years. I first noticed that I was different when my teeth never decayed..despite the fact that I never brushed them and yet through the years dentists marveled at my perfect mouth (yes I do have my teeth cleaned despite what you might think). You will never truly find someone like me, try as you may. I will not be found because I do not want to be. I already live in fear on the chance someone may guess who I am, or what I am. And so I surface for awhile in some big city where I can be anonymous and then disappear again. I never stay in one place for very many years because I fear someone will notice that I haven't changed in a decade...or two. Just because I have lived longer than anyone I know, I have never known a famous person, so you will not find me in pictures with famous people. Why would I? I do not want to be seen. I struggle like you to keep a roof over my head, and food on my table because I get hungry just like you. Yes I eat. I even get sick, just like you. But I do not grow old. Could I die by getting hit by a car or some other accident? Maybe. I have never had that experience, so who can say? Do not fault me because I want to be left alone. Do not seek me because I will not be found.
