lejos de demostrar


Explanation:
If it is an idiom, I have never heard it. It is a bit more difficult without context but I would say lejos de demostrar would be an accurate translation,

Notes to answerer
Asker: A: They turned logic on its head and said: because we cannot measure the parallax of any stars, they all must be the same distance away, and some are just brighter and some dimmer than others – as if they were all fixed to the vault of a great celestial dome. Two thousand years ago, before we were able to measure distances, that all made sense. B: An odd concept...but yes, common sense is far from proof.

neutral  Wolf617: No se trata de "demostrar" algo, sino de que algo sea o no "una prueba", o más 'juridicamente' un "elemento de prueba". Más allá de eso, deberías cuidar tu uso de los verbos 'ser' y 'estar'.
