I wait for Kyu's reply to Arcanus.
I thought I had made it clear that my position was one of agnosticism on the subject. How do you provide evidence for the view that 'there is no conclusive proof one way or the other'? You are the one who is claiming that there is hard evidence, hence it is up to you to provide evidence.
Below this statement, I could not understand anything clearly, due to poor punctuation.
