It would be easier just to let the forest alone

There would need to be monetary incentive for that. The only ethical way of doing so would be for all member states of the UN, or at least the richest ones, to chip into a conditional fund (the condition being no more deflorestation/reflorestation) of enough value to offset the incentives of developing the land. That's not likely to happen, so environmentalists are trying to look for other methods to do so, like carbon credit, reforesting unused lands outside the amazon, and incentivizing eco-friendly/better industries and agricultural production (biomedical research, nature tourism, more sustainable forms of farming)

I thought there was evidence that some of the rainforest used to be farmed by man? Or made by man. I thought there was some kind of highly beneficial soil found in much of the rainforest that could only have been made by man. And therefore people believe much of the rainforest only exists because of what man did.

I know what you’re talking about. It requires fire, so your claims of it being “man-made” when they just burnt soil. The ingredients were made by the rainforest. And I’m not giving the name, because you’re not nearly as smart as you think. And selfish morons, when given the name, will run with it as far as their imaginations will go. Some fucking dipshits in Wyoming will think that it would save their shitty farm that they’ve ruined by failing to rotate crops.
