Which part of Geometry is based on unprovable theorums? Or better yet, can you show me or point me towards one of these unprovable theorums. It's not that I'm not willing to accept that this might be true, but I have never noticed this to be true before.

There is the point, the simpliest geometric figure has no definition, we accept it as it is. The line and the plane also are accepted without any definition. Maybe provable wasn't the best word, but even Geometry as in life we accept truths, without really understanding what they mean.
