Oh for ***** sake, this debate? Look, is it really that hard to believe there was someone writing popcorn flicks in that era? He wrote "your mom" jokes. I don't understand why scholars even think it's a potential argument.

There WAS a William Shakespeare. His life was documented, from his birth to his will, with a few very noticeable gaps, but there is no serious theory that he either did not exist or was a woman in disguise.

Many Nonchristian sources provide details the support the man's life, at least in broad terms. '
