User blog comment:Madman97/The CHIM Argument: The Renewed Version/@comment-25136035-20150617115302/@comment-11345660-20150621191215

Like I said in the blog above, books to me are iffy. Plus, I am not claiming anything other than CHIM has not been proven yet, and books are the only evidence for it. So claiming it "obviously" exists is a falty statement. Take note here that I was very careful not to say "CHIM definitely does not exist," because it very well might, in fact it's almost likely at this stage. The point is that there is not nearly enough evidence for it, despite the examples provided, to be the definitive truth. So you might have your day in the sun very soon...just not yet. That is is why I dismiss it. I wish to explore every possible option before making a decision on a belief. Attempting to tell you what I think happened would probably result in a long and arduous debate.

I know it seems like cheating that I am avoiding your challenge even though I was never rising against it in the first place, but the fact simply is, it would take some time to compile all I need to make a half decent argument, which I am pretty sure you would say, "Yeah, but CHIM could still work." Which again, I am not denying. I'm for the Shezzarines Song myth with blood theory and a Lorkhan who didn't operate alone.

One thing I do wish to point out though that's confusing to me is a bit of trivia. Elder Scrolls Online features a Cyrodil before Talos came to take it over, and since there are no jungles in the map, I think there is a pretty big inconsistency there with your CHIM. Of course, it is suggested that when Talos erased it, he erased it from all times, but then how would we even have record of it if that were true?
