I am aware of the works. I do not disparage your chosen profession as a Earthologist, I believe both sides should be studied and evaluated fully in true academic and scientific rigor. I applaud you for participating in that science.
I was merely attempting to cover both “general” sides of the current debate as a way to answer why Akali may had not heard of Earth.
I believe there is no true consensus yet amongst scientific community at large and suspect there will not be unless the EvE Gate is opened or some other archaeological evidence is found that is beyond dispute.
We all know (as politicians and theologists still continue to demonstrate) it’s easy to ignore science and fact when it doesn’t fit your prefered narrative.
