(18,998 posts)And just what kind of evidence do you think those people wold have left if they were nomads living in tents with flocks of cattle and sheep?...Do you think they would build stone houses and they would still be there?...Bedouins have been living in the desert for centuries and have never built permanent structures....for obvious reasons...they had to move often to new grazing lands....so again you are using the assumption that if they were there we would know it.
And you still have not told me what evidence that people were not living at Nazareth at that time....and if you do I bet it will be the same thing...if they were we would know all about it.
But let me relate something I saw on TV about and archaeologist that found some human bones in a Pueblo village and he examined them and say "butcher marks" on the bones and then went on to say that the Anasazi people must have resorted to cannibalism...because he found some marks on the bones...and he said it with certainty...
In no other science would such thin and inadequate evidence be accepted as proof....no one can tell from scratches on a bone that it was made by cannibals...you can guess that it was but you don't know that and cannot know that...those scratches could have been made by any number of other circumstances.
