I don't know what you mean by [Slavic = GK].
The evidence for the existence of Slavic (oh alright, pre-Slavic) at the
same time as Greek, is that
(a) Slavic exists today
(b) Slavic has inherited a whole bunch of stuff from PIE, as well as making
innovations, so its origins are connected to the origins of Greek.
(c) The best explanation for the evidence is that Slavic developed
continuously, over exactly the same period of time that Greek and everyother
IE language did.
