no, how could they be? unless you take it in an abstract context like saying your assumptions are proof of prejudice.

An assumption is like a hunch based on anything but actual fact. So it may or may not come true. But before the evidence can be gathered an assumption is not proof for anything but your own consciousness and the ability to gather ideas.

By definition, an assumption is not a proof [demonstrating evidence]: An assumption may be what is groundlessly believed to be factual. In an argument, it may be an adduced axiom or a demonstrated theorem. It may be a "presumption", which is legally admissible in a trial. For example, we may presume that a pre-puberty five-year old youngster is not capable of making a contract or of giving consent, even though we do not really know whether a given individual is so capable or not.
What we call an assumption is often actually an implicit or hidden assumption which somebody makes in his discourse. Such assumptions are not easily discovered, for they may be evidence of enmity or long-term plots against one's country.
What exactly did you have in mind when you asked the question?

SCROTUSThis is called "Begging the Question," which phrase is misinterpreted by the ignorant blowhards in the media as "which leads to this question." But to those who are capable of learning truth instead of repeating errors, "begging" is used in the sense of asking for what is not yours and "question" means "conclusion, what is sought," as in quest. Even though we are not allowed to realize how illogical it was, the most famous example was Marbury v. Madison, in which the Supreme Court Justices interpreted the Constitution as giving them the right to interpret the Constitution.

Depends on "proof".
There's no need to prove it for yourself, unless you're hesitating about "where the hell did they come from?". I don't think that we might be responsible for assumptions in our minds. It's easy to see that we're neither creators of our minds, nor of our brains. Thoughts come out from mind and brains and we cannot add something else to this process = we are not control our thoughts.
Obviously, the procedure of proving any assumptions must be unique.

Yes but "proof" is assumed.

Assumptions cannot be proven if and only if the assumed assumptions are not provable.

Assumptions cannot be proven if and only if the assumed assumptions are not provable. Proof is definition of relations, definitions are assumed as they are imprinted within the act of observation. We assume definitions as we are imprinted by them.
