Really? Please show me your proof.--You are going to be SO famous;the first person in recorded history to manage that task.
Making such a claim is no less absurd than a believer saying " I know the God of the Bible/Torah/Qur'an DOES exist". Both are positive claims attracting the burden of proof.

Argument from incredulity,a common logical fallacy.
Quote:Argument from incredulity/Lack of imagination
Arguments from incredulity take the form:
P is too incredible (or: I cannot imagine how P could possibly be true); therefore P must be false.
It is obvious that P is true (or: I cannot imagine how P could possibly be false); therefore P must be true.
These arguments are similar to arguments from ignorance in that they too ignore and do not properly eliminate the possibility that something can be both incredible and still be true, or appear to be obvious and yet still be false.
