I'd argue that you can't "prove" anything. The most you can do is to demonstrate that a series of premises logically lead to a particular conclusion; that's the closest thing to a proof.
As has been said, science simply offers the best available models and explanations.
So to answer the question, no I certainly can't prove it exists! All I could hope would be to convince someone beyond reasonable doubt, and what is reasonable is going to be subjective.

Buzz Aldrin will punch you in the face if you say he didn't go to the moon to his face.
If you deny the existence of the moon to his face he goes super-saiyan, rips your spinal cord out through your anus then erases you from time.

Libration disproves the notion of a flat cardboard Moon. Gravity would likely disprove a holographic one, unless it's some exotic form of hologram displaying or simulating gravity proportionate for a body of the Moon's mass and size.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Only if you spend the afternoon shoving a bible in his face, calling him a liar because he won't swear on it, continually blocking him from crossing the street with his granddaughter and generally refusing to go away when asked multiple times.
Michael Collins (iirc) would literally kick your arse out the door for pulling the same kind of shit.

Good answer.
I do intend on trying the weight change during high tide vs. low tide. I am going to use a digital scale so I can remote the display and put a barrel of water on it and log the weight and temperature for about a week.

I do not know those people. Why should I take their word for it?

Circular argument. I do not know those rocks are from the moon.

What about an eclipse? Could a flat cardboard moon bend space?
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Wait, never mind. I fucked that all up. The eclipse only allowed us to see the sun's gravity bending the light of the stars in the line of sight. Fuck! Got ahead of myself.

I say we blow the motherfucker up. That'll silence the solipsists.
You know you want to, and IMO, blowing up the moon is an idea who's time has come.
