We use enormous amounts of it in construction, cut to precise shapes.

Of which we have ample amounts of fossils. Even included in marble, which is itself hundreds of millions of years old.

So we don't have fossils from hundreds of millions of years ago?

Absolutely if they had a civilisation capable of producing climate change. We're talking about at least a billion individuals living in all environments on Earth, from the tropics to the arctic, and doing all things an advanced civilization does: farming, mining, building, transporting, exploring etc. At least elements of technical clothing are needed in many of these activities.

You keep repeating an argument that disproves the possibility of all fossils. Really you can't understand that it's contradicted by facts?
