[Chad32]

I'm hesitant to watch a video with a guy named Ken H. in it.

Yes, and once again, the majority seems to be against you.
There is a reason min, why absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.  

Actually, it is....and probably no more so in any other context than in the context of archeology.

If you tell me there was a horde of jews wandering the desert for 40 years...you'd better cough up the pottery and garbage piles.  I don't want to hear about mana falling from the sky.  Similarly, if you tell me there was a city in some place at a specific time...there had better be evidence of a city in that place at that time. "They won't let me dig" doesn't really work for an area that's been dug up with religious zeal specifically to find what the diggers are looking for, for the past few hundred years.

Actually majority is not  and even if it were that proves nothing as your majority is sorely lacking evidence . And yes absence of expected evidence is evidence of absence. Simply repeating phrases does not make them true .

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.
