    There is evidence of New York existing and there is evidence of spiders existing. Does that mean I am stretching my skepticism when I say I am convinced that Spiderman does not exist?

      I can go to Times Square right now and find half a dozen guys dressed in Spiderman costumes running around. And I can produce a litany of live action video that is significantly more convincing than any artifacts you could produce to prove the existence of Caeser Augustus or Abraham Lincoln or Winston Churchill. Hell, I can even get you video of a guy in a Spiderman costume who is climbing a high rise in Los Angeles right here

      If a video of a guy climbing a building in a Spiderman costume was paired with a handful of comic books, and this was discovered in a sealed vault in the year 4024 AD, what kind of conversation would we be having?
