Of course writing is evidence, how else do you think we know about the ancient beliefs and cultures of the ancient world?

Are you being deliberately obtuse? You're assuming the evidentiary value of the writing you're citing, which is wholly insufficient for the claim under discussion. To answer this question -- have you not heard of archaeology? Societies leave behind a lot of physical evidence for their cultural beliefs and mores.

You ever heard of statues?

Sure, why not? That doesn't mean that if it was written down it would have more evidentiary value ... or are you one of those special folk who think that if it's written down, it must be true?

Say, next week can we debate the existence of Beren and Luthien? I'm sure they existed, because Tolkien wrote about them. And writing is evidence!
