No one has provided the slightest bit of evidence that it's writing.
They don't claim any recurring sequences of symbols, for instance.

There _is_ a recurring sequence of symbols, namely
cross bar angle, which I read as Ki Ri Ke

cross Ki, bar Ri, angle Ke

cross bar angle --- Ki Ri Ke

for the name of the bird goddess of Old Europe (in the
sense of Marija Gimbutas), a goddess of many shapes
whose main emanations are a woman and birds, and who
survives as Kirkae (Circe) in Homer's Odyssey. Starting
from these three signs, cross bar angle, Ki Ri Ke, I went
for a live attempt at deciphering a part of the Vinca script
online, in sci.archaeology and sci.lang, thread "Did the
Trojan war really happen the way Homer said it did?",
messages from the spring of 2004. The result, 37 tables
plus additional material, especially calendars, are online:

Marija Gimbutas considered the Vinca signs actual writing,
and a sacred script. I can only confirm her opinion.
