Since you apparently do not accept these proofs, I can only conclude that you are either ignorant of them or are swayed by modern mis-characterizations of these arguments,
Or it is because the value of baseless assertions doesn't magically grow with the passing of centuries, or because the originators of such nonsense carry philosophical pretensions. If this is all you've got in terms of proof, it isn't any wonder that you most often encounter "philosophers" fucking up your order at Burger King.
