Prove there isn't a second earth sharing our orbit that is symmetrically locked on the far side of the sun

It would be influenced by other planets in our solar system and eventually one planet would meet with the other and we would become mega earth

We would be able to detect it based on its gravitational effect on the other planets.
We detected Neptune this way like 200 years ago

you would notice deflections of other planets and asteroids, comets, etc due to its gravity.

this is pretty much the primary method for finding planets that you can't directly see

All previous arguments are sound reasons counter-Earth doesn't exist. They should be enough. In addition, such a configuration would be unstable. The worlds would eventually collide no matter how precise the original alignment.
Also, we've sent spacecraft to places where they could _see_ such a world if it existed.

Of course, these are scientific arguments. If your icon's hat is the real one you wear, I don't think we can convince you that way.
