And since when is concluding that there is zero evidence for something the same as a theory?There is evidence. When a contrarian concludes there is ZERO evidence it is an assertion. Concluding there is ZERO evidence "implies" a theory that is intentionally unstated. For a contrarian to put forward a theory would risk silly, unsubstantiated guesswork to be attacked as nonsense. You of all people should know that.
Perhaps there is not even a theory.
