Every time, though, I give an alternate explanation. Because that's something you always have to do. I don't just eliminate it entirely. In fact, doing that is bad. Like you eliminating the evidence of Mettaton having only nine viewers.

But, let's analyze what's likely the strongest evidence of the bunch. Evidence, that on its own, if valid, is already enough to put some major suspicion over Gaster. After all, I should really actually take it into account if I want to call it into question. Otherwise, I really am cherrypicking. I've dealt with the rest before, but never this one...

"Beware the man who comes from the other world"

"Beware the man who speaks in hands".

Believe it or not... That doesn't necessarily mean that the person had to be a human! Sans refers to Toriel as a woman when we dine with him at the MTT resort, and we know how a fact that she's a monster.

The man who speaks in hands could be Gaster.. But it could also be [REDACTED]. (That's seriously his name-I didn't redact it.) And the man who came from the other world need not be a human-It could be a monster. So even if this is Gaster, it doesn't prove he's a human.

As for what the "other world" is..

"Alphys is telling me many interesting facts about the human world. Quite a few of them are wrong, though."-Toriel, True Pacifist Epilouge text

The Surface is considered a different world than the Underground. And if Gaster was around before the war, then it would make sense for him to be from this "other world". Then again, this man could be anyone from the other world. For all we know, the River Person is talking about Chara.
