I mean, yeah, absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence in and of itself, but we have to remember what's being discussed: a civilization wandering through the wilderness for forty years being fed daily by magic sky-food. Apart from the Bible's claims, there's no evidence for this, either.
It seems more reasonable to just assume it didn't happen until we find some other reason to believe it.
Archeaologists are more than capable of finding old campsites, if they're there to be found. Especially if more than a million people are traipsing around. It's nonsense to propose we wouldn't be able to find evidence of that. If we DID find evidence of that tomorrow, they'd change their tune in a heartbeat.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
