Oh blow the absence of evidence argument out your ass.
Pfann does not have an absence of evidence. He has uncovered evidence of a single family farm on the site where you claim there was a city where your godboy taught in a synagogue ( which would not have existed in a shitty little farming hamlet ) and whose population was ready to toss his holy ass off a cliff.... and the nearest "cliff" is about 3 miles away. Surely someone would have figured out a less tiring way to rid themselves of such a pest such as bashing his head in with a stick?
You know, we get the same bullshit answer when archaeologists dig for "David's Jerusalem." They go down to 10th BC century levels and what they find is evidence of, at most, a tiny village. No grand capital city of an empire. This is not absence of evidence. This...as with Nazareth...this is absence of YOUR evidence.
Shit or get off the pot, pal. Produce evidence of a city ( and in Greek "polis" could also refer to a good sized town ) on the site to counteract what Pfann has already found, catalogued and published. He did not find a city. It is up to you to produce evidence of one. It's going to take more than a few Greco-Roman oil lamps. I suggest you get a shovel and get busy.
