And they never will.
This foolishness presupposes that all truth lies within the grasp of scholars. I speak of proof because Truth demands proof. Evidence can be manipulated to fit any agenda. (Maybe that is why you want me to provide you with evidence rather than a road to proof.) That is the folly of the scholarly path, it is the road of endless debate and never ending opinion. where as absolute truth and proof of said truth is not debatable.
