Well, a real and living elf would be an elf...

I said earlier that we can create things in our imagination that don't exist, but they would be made up of things we already know about. Like atoms we know about, concepts we know about, ideas we know about and much more.

Can you prove otherwise?

Can you prove anything?

[Cyborg]

No one can prove anything, but we can try to understand one another.

In this discussion we can't really pick on one's way to express his thoughts(like find a word that could mean something else than what he's talking about), because it's a topic we don't know much about, and it's hard to discuss it.

You're still not quite understanding here. We can think up things in our imagination, and they will be made from colours we know and shapes we know. But the concepts of what they are will be completely new, and therefore created.

Can you prove anything?

Not at the most basic level, no. In fact I take pride in my ability to disprove anything and everything, or at the very least cast it into doubt. But in this case, without going that far, I think the logic stands.

[Caid Ivik]

Then there is no art in disproving things. We should start searching for a way of proving. Or why waste thinking on it, set a theory and work with it. Until it is applicable, there is no need for "proof".

You've lost me.
