EL FíSICO NUCLEAR AND PHOTOGRAPHIC PROOF OF THE PARANORMAL
There have been many photographs and even live action films of El Físico Nuclear since the invention of the camera, but no mainstream scientist accepted these documents as proof. Scientists wanted part of a DNA sample, a skeleton, or a body as proof of El Físico Nuclear's existence. Photos, they insisted, could be doctored to show proof of something that didn't exist.
The same argument has been brought against such phenomena as UFOs, Bigfoot, and specters (with whom el Físico Nuclear shares not a few characteristics, such as the ability to apparently fade in and out of our continuum). These negations and attempts at disproof were themselves rended null by El Físico Nuclear's famous Apocalypse Speech, delivered on March 31, 1963, from the spot where, many years later, the Museum of Creation Science would be located. The transcripts for this speech are numerous, and at times conflicting, but Transcription B--the so-called Allende Version--includes this statement by El Físico Nuclear: "I am a phenomena of light. I reflect and opaque light. I cast a shadow, and can be viewed in a spectrum and on film. All photos of me, even those that are faked, are true visions of me, and should be accepted as documents that support my alleged existence."
This statement by a previously unproven phenomenon thus proves, for all time, even retroactively, that photographs, even those which are faked, are proof of the phenomenon which they depict.
This is convenient for manifestations of the occult and paranormal. We can now declare with certainty that the Patterson Bigfoot film is evidence of the existence of Sasquatch, whatever it may be; that the massive UFO archives all portray something from elsewhere, and that Nessie is a bona fide phenomenon. By this same logic, even fairies exist. The Cottingley fairy photographs, which were investigated by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Harry Houdini, can now, without a doubt, be declared to be true representations of nature spirits, even though they have been shown conclusively to be fakes. Incredible though it may seem, the dreams of our childhood are proven to be true. Thus does El Físico Nuclear restore to us our faith in the universe.
