You can prove ANYTHING if you can ignore disconfirming evidence.

It reminds me of the point in decision making - almost all of our choices are over-determined; that is, there are always good reasons to do almost anything we may want to; to make a good decision we also have to balance the reasons not to choose particular things.

And as to your title question: I am SUPERIOR to a solar deity - at least I actually exist.
