Or is it an accident you’re using their exact same logic?
Because to quote Donald Rumsfeld:
The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence
Especially when what we’re talking about is evidence of agriculture over 20k years ago, what the actual fuck do you think would still be there? A rusted out Ford tractor?
There’s gonna be the same amount of evidence as for when I farted in 5th grade science class decades ago, that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. It just means no evidence survived this long.
Evidence of a stone hoe knapped at that time, like we have found everywhere that there was agriculture, would be a start. Evidence of some sort of tilling, which would still be there even if buried would be better. We have found neither.
Thanks. I’m no where qualified to actually discuss archaeology as it is practiced, but there do seem to be a few common things found at ancient sites, mostly broken pottery and broken stone tools. I’m assuming because we had to make a lot of the things prior to discovering metalworking.
We found a banana peel from last week, if bananas existed 100 years ago, the planet would be covered in ancient banana peels, hence we know bananas are at most a week old!
Best of luck pal, but you’re gonna have to find someone else now
Are you arguing for young Earth creationism now?

Thanks for trying to engage in a good-faith discussion here.
I’d have thought the guy who said, “Archaeology exists, bro,” would be interested in what archaeology is actually able to tell us.

Not even close to what I said. It would be nice if you would read what I wrote.
