Well then, what do you think of the 'proof' that I have presented?
Whether proof is opinion or not depends on what you are trying to prove. If someone hits you, and you feel him hit you, see him hit you, and the person and other witnesses agree that he hit you, then it can be proven that he hit you. It is not an opinion.
Life can be made a formal system, given certain conditions. Assume, for instance, that we exist, are in fact conscious free agents, and that others are in a similar situation. From these assumptions we can begin to prove many things that are not merely opinions. We do this on a regular basis.
