Don't forget that they're willingly bending space and time to bring us here. What seems like a contradiction to you might simply be a difference of timelines.
I'm not sure what the alternative to being physically brought here would be, anyway.
I can say with some certainty that that was the same timeline. There's only one in which the Land of Canaan can exist.
An alternative would be that we really are constructed from data they gathered. Not backup copies as they implied, but additional copies of the same files, saved in a different location, while the originals remain where they were.
[ god that sounds like something okabe would make up... it keeps happening. but she bites her tongue. ]
That could be true. If we go with that assumption, though, it would render any attemps at escaping and returning to "normal life" moot, so I've been ignoring it.
[ even he would acknowledge that that part sounds like fairytale bullshit, though it isn't. that giant space fetus is 100% real. (what the fuck is this game.) ]
So you're ignoring what little factual evidence there is in order to cling to your hope of succeeding in those attempts.
The word of those we knew before coming here, with whom we can compare experiences and timelines. I consider the information I was given by that person from my world to be more reliable evidence than anything else I've found here.
[ which it fucking pains him to say because he hates that kid, but he is a researcher too, and has a little bit of experience with fractured dimensions, and is enough of a goody two-shoes that he's probably incapable of lying. ]

And what evidence is there? CERES' word? We already know they're lying to us.
