    No. We can't prove that we can think. Descartes was quick to point out that "I think therefore i am" is not a logical argument in the form of (If I think then I am, I think, therefore I am). Descartes suggested that we couldn't prove any of this, we should just be aware of the fact with no actual thought.

    p.s. check the answer by bubbyjorden below. It is hilarious. It is utterly and outlandishly philosophical (like a second Heidegger, or Derrida even, or ... bullshit). He/she deserves the best answer award. (sorry, I could not help myself)
