And buildings are not the only stone structures, nor would a group of people the size of a city continually wander through such a relatively small area without stopping for extended periods. The story tells us that they stayed there because of a judgment from god, not because they were trying to find their way out. To assume that they simply kept moving and never stopped is as ludicrous as assuming that they didn't leave a single scrap of evidence of their 38-year trip.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
