If you have someone that looks like Clara tied to your bed, you have to tell me. Because that sounds like a lot of fun, and I would absolutely buy tickets.

You can use logic to say she probably isn't, just as we can use logic to say there probably isn't a god, but you can't prove it. Even if you came to my house right now and looked, I could have untied her in the time between now and your arrival.
Using logic to say there probably isn't a god? I'd be fascinated if you would show me how logic manages that.
Regardless of 'who' is behind the computer, your avatar here has personality we recognize as 'NoraBrimstone', which is subject to change, but is currently a being we believe to recognize.
Not that it necessarily matters what the personality of your avatar is, given that arguments are made and annihilated by the words said, and not by the person making them.

Theoretically I can prove that no humans on Mercury through more developed technology, i.e if I have the efficient tools which can scan the surface of mercury and even its inside I will be able to prove there are no humans there.
If I put a secret permanent spy camera in your bedroom I will be able to prove there is no one tied to your bed.
Of course there are cases when we can't prove that something exists or doesn't, but I am just against generalization. So, logically: proving that something doesn't exist or an event didn't happen is not impossible at all cases. The Alien technology used to enable the humans to live on Mercury is incredibly advanced. It made them all invisible, and undetectable. There is no way to prove they aren't there.
You can put a permanent spy camera in my room, but she's under an invisbility blanket. Sorry.
I am aware that this is stupid, but it's exactly what theists do when you point out things that don't add up with their belief system.

That is perhaps the greatest alliteration, ever.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

I figured you were on a break, possibly for rehydration. Even the best of us needs to stop for coffee sometimes
Or to adjust the angle of the camera. You are filming all of that, right?
