 >>>Well, what was your definition of it when you first asked the 
question?<<<


"To prove the accuracy of" was what I meant.

So how does whatever is non-human that you were referring to prove the 
accuracy of your human assertion? I agree with the poster who said 
humans are not the ultimate verifiers of what is real. When humans go, 
all of their conceptualizations about reality go right along with them. 
There is no way for humans to know what reality is beyond human 
conceptualizations, and assertions about what reality is like outside 
of our conceptualizations are impossible to verify, and are completely 
absurd.
