Proof of a negative like that is pretty much impossible. Unless we could track every minute of his life and document it, we could have not proof that he did not do those things.

Proving a negative statement is virtually impossible. There may be no evidence that he did no such thing, but there is also no evidence the he did not.

Stupid argument.
