Fair enough; I don't disagree with you. Quite honestly, I'd love it to be
that easy. I suspect all of us someday will meet for coffee in heaven, and
laugh about how simple it all was, how little we really understood, and how
badly we all missed it.

But OTOH, so what? Almost nothing about a concept such as IOG can be "ruled
out." Again, all you're suggesting is that I should prove a negative. I
also can't "rule out" that there are space aliens somewhere that possess the
IOG, and that they dropped Adam and Eve off when they built the pyramids and
Aztec temples. The Discovery Channel has made a mint airing shows that
suggest nutty stuff like this. But OTOH, I don't see any warrant at this
point for asserting affirmatively that any such thing is true, and the best
and most coherent explanations rather strongly suggest it isn't. The burden
of proof remains on you, just as it remains on people who claim aliens built
the pyramids.
