If records are physical evidence then I have records and physical evidence of all the extraterrestrials, spaceships, and events in the Bible, Mahabharata, and Iliad.
"And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire. Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man." -- Ezekial 1:4-5
"And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubims, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was as the colour of a beryl stone. And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel. When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went." -- Ezekial 10:9-11
"Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll. And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits." -- Zechariah 5:1-2
f an event did not leave any traces, then it cannot be studied and therefore does not exist.
I agree that the Big Bang and evolution did not leave any trace, cannot be studied, and therefore do not exist.
However God and angels did leave traces, can be studied, and therefore exist.
All of the equipment that was laying around was either melted down
If it was melted down then it cannot be studied and therefore according to you it does not exist.
