CLAIM: "We can prove Abraham Lincoln existed by just going to the tomb where he is buried."
STATUS: FALSE - The "body" of Abe Lincoln is buried under 10 feet of cement and steel and is unaccessible. A DNA test to be made on the corpse is now impossible (including those of his "wife and children" who are claimed to be buried there as well). The last time the coffin was opened was long before DNA testing was available, and it was moved at least 17 times - occasionally to secret locations unknown to the public. Even if opened now, you could not be certain that this was the same man who is claimed to have existed in 1865, the body would not have a verifiable chain of custody.

Or the moon landing being fake. *shrug*
