Proof without certainty, or certainty without proof.
I prefer Proof without certainty because, while leaving evidence, it leaves me open to any possibilities.

There is no proof without certaintyare we speaking equations, or reality in general ?
I think the justice system (for starters) would beg to differ...

Delete it from your thoughts for now.
"there is no proof without certainty" I can't make sense of that statement, please help.

certainty
Main Entry: cer·tain·ty
Pronunciation: ..ˈsər-tən-tē..
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural cer·tain·ties
Date: 14th century
1 : something that is certain
2 : the quality or state of being certain especially on the basis of evidence
synonyms certainty, certitude, conviction mean a state of being free from doubt.
Certainty and certitude are very close;
Certainty may stress the existence of objective proof <claims that cannot be confirmed with scientific certainty>, while certitude may emphasize a faith in something not needing or not capable of proof <believes with certitude in an afterlife>.
Conviction applies especially to belief strongly held by an individual <holds firm convictions on every issue>.
There is certainty without proof.
There is no ackowledgement of proof without certainty that it is proof.
For if you weren't certain, you're nowhere near proof.

I suppose I'm just dense.
I still don't see how there can be no proof without certainty.
In fact, I see few certainties in this life, that don't border on trivial.

Consider that proof doesn't exist, its simply a matter of convincing in most cases, subjectively we can view something as proof, the objective truth though remains unknown, always.
