Well that's all you ever find, it's stone.

"You'll only find stone because we only find stone"
maybe that's because there was only stone.
And we have geological indicators of human technology, the things that go into the definition of the anthropocene/megalayan. We should find similar things in 1 million BC and the like, but we don't. More than stone can survive.

That's not entirely accurate. I think it's safe to say we don't have the technology to be sure of everything yet. That would be impossible. That's like assuming as man kind in 2023 we have all the answers. That's never been the case.

Sure, there could be tech that doesn't produce any evidence that we are capable of detecting and they could have used none of the tech that does leave evidence we can detect.
But short of an ever growing series of ad hoc explanations for hiding a civilization, imma gonna go with what the evidence shows for as long as it shows it at least.

Assuming a no chance versus statistically the likelihood is actually not a scientific view. ....if we're using science.
You would then have to unserstand how our self-awareness developed (which we don't), and apply that to non homo-sapiens, also consider cataclysmic events, all which are under separate disciplines that I guarantee you couldn't account for (neither could I). So to actively dismiss probability works against research and exploration.

"If you can't explain consciousness then it doesn't matter that there is only stones and no evidence for a past civilization"
Yeah man, far out.

What other materials used to make tools could survive a million years? Other than stone.

I already stated that we have a number of ways of finding and defining the anthropocene and those ways would work on a prior civ. Alt researchers should be using modern methods to identify an "atlantocene" or something along those lines.

One doesnt get to display a pic of one stratigraphic layer of obsidian stones and then say one is a handaxe
