Unicorns, Real or Unreal?

Many people doubt Unicorns existence. I infer that they do exist, but it would be very hard to explain. Let’s take a look at why it’s impossible to prove that something does or does not exist.


For instance, we can use the subject of ‘God’. Some people believe ‘God’ exists, while others do not. Science has looked for a ‘God’, but has yet to find one. Some then state that there is no ‘God’, due mostly to the fact that it has not been proven to exist. then the other part of the argument comes in. Many believe it does exist. So then ‘they’ ask Science to prove that there is no ‘God’. Science cannot do this because it has no hard evidence that it does not exist. It relies on the fact that it has no proof that is does. That is not a viable statement, for not finding evidence is not actually proving the nonexistence of something. Thus being backed into a corner, ‘they’ can turn around and ask the believers to prove that ‘God’ does indeed exist. They cannot do this either due to the fact that there is no evidence that ‘God’ does exist. Meaning it is impossible to prove the existence of something by science. Having found no proof of it’s existence is not actually proving the nonexistence, and not having any evidence at all is not proving the existence.


The same thing applies with Unicorns. Scientists have looked and seemed to find no such thing as a “one horned equine with the hind legs of a goat, and the tail of a lion.” That does not mean it does not exist.   Many countries have different ideas of a ‘unicorn’. Like in China for instance, their idea of a ‘unicorn’ is much like a dragon with a single horn.


In 1827, it was claimed that the ‘unicorn’ was a physical impossibility. George Cuvier was the man to prove that notion. “If the Unicorn was a cloven-hoofed animal”, he said, “the front of it’s skull must, like that of all other such animals, also be cloven. But, if this was the case, a horn could not grow from the center of it’s forehead.”
