Facts have to be gathered in order to "prove" anything one way or another. Research has to be done, communication has to take place, avenues of inquiry must be traveled. Possibilities must be examined and either substantiated or discarded. Proof is the reward at the end of the process.

The problem is that the process itself seems to offend people for various reasons, and attempts are made to squelch any inquiries, and demand that any efforts toward the discovery of proof be halted. Some of the same people who say that there's nothing to it because there is no proof, scream the loudest at any attempt to go after the truth. I'm not referring to you, I'm just saying that the problem with providing enough facts to convince anyone of anything is the resistance put up by many to even gathering the facts.
It's pretty much a Catch-22 situation.

So what I ask of those who think this is the nuttiest endeavor in the history of the universe is to quit arguing over whether it should be investigated or not. Let it be investigated by those who think it should be, and if it turns out to have been a wild goose chase, then laugh your asses off and say "I told you so". But why the battle against it?
