7. Lose the word prove

It doesn't belong in discussions of reality. Proof can only happen in abstract constructs such as math. In reality and science we use evidence.

It would be proper to say that the idea that she was actually hearing the voice of the devil is an unsupported claim. Mean while there is ample evidence of neurological anamolies that can account for such conditions. Thus it is likely that she was experiencing a neuroligical anamoly and that exorcism would be exactly the wrong thing to do.
