My Arguement also includes the cities who were inhabbited at the very same time, but for much longer periods hundreds and in some cases for thousands of years... Yet aside from their stone foundations nothing is left. Especially not any of the biodegradeble stuff you are looking for.Which of these cities were inhabited for thousands of years and left nothing but stone foundations? The only groups discussed so far were small tribes that nonetheless left tools and pottery along with those stone structures.
Drich Wrote:So where is all the urine and fecal matter from those cities?Which "cities?" Small tribes establishing villages or towns would definitely have had to find ways to deal with the relatively small amounts of waste they produced, whereas you have a group of millions of people and livestock producing massive amounts of waste every day after consuming even more massive amounts of food and water. And, of course, re-purposing every last tool and utensil they had. All without a even a single crude forge or altar or any kind of contraptions for keeping the livestock together or anything other than small campfires (tens of thousands, every night!), apparently.
"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."
