In my case its the later. But I don't see the need for proof myself. For example I know that the laws of nature can never be proved. Our own justice system makes life and death decisions based on other than proof. In that sense I'm not sure of where the need for proof comes in. Certain things in this universe are simply not subject to proof.
In the end it boils down to epistemology, i.e. what one accepts as evidence.
