RE: True or False ? Will Your Judgement Be Unbiased in Answer to the Question Revealed ?

Napoleon,
May be the reason I asked the question was to show that a person may have believed they know everything about a subject when in contrast to reality they know little if anything and that believing they are certain is not right.
Besides perhaps things which are not may be shown to be not if I was seeking to know.
As an example. Does the U.S. government not not have a website ?

Can anyone prove the bible wasn't encrypted ?
Can you prove that it was?
Let's take a look at what kind of question you're asking.
It is a negative question, you are asking ME as though the burden of proof is on ME to prove that something which probably didn't happen, didn't happen. Tell me, how would you go about doing that? The question is retarded, it is the same sort of question as "Can anyone prove there is no teapot orbiting Jupiter".
Say I wanted to prove to you, that there is no teapot orbiting Jupiter, do you reasonably expect me to prove that to you?
The answer, in case you're too slow to grasp, is that no, expecting someone to prove a negative question is not reasonable. And in most cases near impossible.
You are asking the wrong types of questions. Instead of asking "Can you prove that it wasn't", instead ask "can you prove that it was". The latter is a reasonable expectation for a question. The former however is not.
