Try the Cartesian Method: if you think you exist (or even if you doubt you exist) then clearly something is doing that thinking; that something is you.

How do you decide that something is right or wrong and if so then prove it?
You find as much evidence (dependable facts) as possible that either agrees or disagrees with the statement you're trying to prove. You then weigh the evidence for and against.
Can science prove something that does not exist?
Science cannot really PROVE anything. If you consider the arguments of, for example, the 18th century philosopher David Hume, then you will see that science cannot prove things as it consistently relies on induction to form conclusions and induction does not say that something is definitely the result of something else, only that it could be or is likely or even appears at this moment to be the only explanation. Therefore, if we put this belief into the original question "Can science prove something that does not exist?", both yes and no can be argued. No because science cannot prove anything, therefore, it cannot prove something that does exist and it cannot prove something that does not exist. Yes because if you do still believe that science can prove that existing things do exist, you will believe that it can prove that non-exisiting also exist because obviously if a mistake is made to come to this false conclusion, you (the person who has found such a result) will not know the mistake has occured and will not question it if you have done everything right according to the procedures for proving things, because you believe that if you have followed such procedures then you must have proven it because that is the way you believe science works. A complicated discussion really, depends what you believe about the reliabity of 'fact' and the nature of 'proof'. it's true the science is can really prove any thing.=]
Can a thesis statement be a question?

Why does Descartes use the method of doubt?
He started from the thought that if you doubt everything, then you have to prove that everything exists and that man exists. If you start from nothing as he did, then you have to admit that there is something. I am, therefore I exist.

Why do we need evidence that god does not exist when no one has evidence that god does exist?
We do not need evidence that gods do not exist. We don't need to prove a negative. The claim there is no proof that gods do not exist is part of a fallacious argument used by some believers to balance out the lack of any evidence that gods doexist. Try not to get confused about that issue.Regarding the issue of evidence of the existence of God, please see the related question.

Do ghost still exist?
There is little evidence to prove that ghost exist. However, there is little evidence to prove they don't exist. On one hand, if they never existed in the past then they never will. On the other hand, if they once existed then they will always exist because, it is said that there are spirits inside living bodies and these spirits turn into ghost if the person did bad; there are plenty of bad people in the world so there probaly still are ghost if what they said is true.
