The Sumerians were one of the earliest urban societies to emerge in the world, in Southern Mesopotamia more than 5000 years ago. They developed a writing system whose wedge-shaped strokes would influence the style of scripts in the same geographical area for the next 3000 years.....For 5000 years before the appearance of writing in Mesopotamia, there were small clay objects in abstract shapes, called clay tokens, that were apparently used for counting agricultural and manufactured goods.

http://www.ancientscripts.com/sumerian.htmlMy bold.So, unless you are going to claim language came after writing, you have your evidence.

Why is it laughable? You appear to hand wave away evidence without providing any of your own.What leads you to doubt the evidence I tender? How about a place name?Eridu (or Eridug, modern Tell Abu Shahrain, Iraq) was the earliest city in southern Mesopotamia, founded ca. 5400 BC.Eridu - Wikipedia Well I'm sorry, I confess I have no idea what this sentance means if you want something not reliant on writing. Now this is an interesting thing to say don't you think? You have the site of Eridu dated prior to 6000 years ago but as you have said all evidence is based on a flimsy premis.This begs the question: why are you on this site? You seem to show talent only in refusing to see what other wiser people have tried really, really hard to show you.I mean, the surface of the sphere thread: a perfect example. It is obvious to anyone accept you that there is no center. Yet you keep insisting that everyone else is wrong accept you.So I ask you: if you are not here to learn or debate, what are you here for?

I really don't understand your point.If you want to play football you can't come along and pick the ball up and then blame everyone else because you did not make the effort to learn how to play.If you stay here long enough you will learn new things that will astound you.I knew bugger all about cosmology 'till I came here, now I know some cool stuff. But I won't go telling Cavediver what terms he should be using because I can't be arsed to take several years to get the knowledge around the subject he has.

So no evidence will suit you.Fair enough.No point in carrying on the debate, then.

So far, all of your posts indicate that you have assumed the position of a twat on this web site.Edited by Larni, : Added softer wording.
