Darwinisme tetap berpendapat bahawa manusia dan juga budaya yang dimiliki berkembang daripada peringkat asas, primitif, bangsa dan menuju ketamadunan. Walau bagaimanapun, penemuan arkeologi menunjukkan bahawa sejak permulaan sejarah manusia, telah ada titik-titik di mana masyarakat yang bertamadun hidup bersama dengan komuniti yang mundur. Hakikatnya, pada kebanyakan masa, masyarakat yang kaya dengan budaya telah wujud bersamaan dengan mereka yang terkebelakang. Sepanjang sejarah, kebanyakan masyarakat di zaman yang sama mempunyai tahap teknologi dan peradaban yang berlainan, dengan perbezaan sosial dan budaya – seperti mana juga hari ini. Misalannya, walaupun benua Amerika Utara kini maju dalam bidang perubatan, sains, senibina dan teknologi, sesetengah komuniti di Amerika Selatan agak mundur dari segi teknologi dan tiada rangkaian ke dunia luar. Pelbagai penyakit di kebanyakan bahagian di dunia dikenal pasti melalui teknik pengimejan dan analisis yang amat maju, dan dirawat di hospital-hospital moden. Tetapi di sebahagian dunia yang lain, kebanyakan penyakit dianggap berkembang di bawah pengaruh semangat jahat, dan penyembuhan melibatkan pelbagai upacara untuk membuang roh-roh tersebut.

21st Century - ColombiAbove (picture in picture) A native Papuan, Australia | 21st Century - Miami, USAIn one part of the world, people live in primitive environments, while on another continent, people live in comfortable skyscrapers and travel by airplane and luxurious cruise ships. Contrary to the claims of evolutionists, both advanced and "primitive" societies have always existed at the same periods, just as they do today. |
Masyarakat seperti bangsa Indus, Mesir purba dan Sumeria yang hidup di sekitar 3,000 SM, mempunyai budaya yang secara relatifnya lebih baik dalam segala aspek berbanding dengan bangsa-bangsa hari ini, malahan juga lebih daripada masyarakat yang kini lebih maju. Ini bermakna bahawa sepanjang sejarah, masyarakat dengan peradaban tinggi telah hidup bersama dengan komuniti yang kurang berbudaya. Masyarakat yang wujud ribuan tahun dahulu sebenarnya mungkin jauh lebih maju daripada manusia di abad ke-20. Ini menunjukkan bahawa tiada sebarang perkembangan dalam rangka proses evolusi – dengan erti kata lain, daripada primitif kepada bertamadun.

| The environment where a people lives does not indicate whether their minds are primitive or advanced. In every period, people lived under different conditions and developed different requirements. For example, the ancient Egyptians' understanding of architecture is different from ours, but that does not mean that our culture is necessarily more advanced. One emblem of 20th century civilization is the skyscraper; in ancient Egypt, it was the pyramids and the sphinxes. |
Sepanjang perjalanan sejarah, pastinya banyak kemajuan penting telah dibuat dalam semua bidang, dengan langkah dan pembangunan hebat dalam sains dan teknologi, syukur pada perkembangan budaya dan pengalaman. Walau bagaimanapun, adalah tidak rasional dan saintifik untuk mengatakan bahawa perubahan tersebut merupakan proses evolusi seperti mana yang digambarkan oleh evolusionis dan materialis. Oleh kerana tiada perbezaan ciri-ciri fizikal antara manusia kini dengan mereka yang hidup ribuan tahun dulu, maka tiada juga perbezaan dari segi kecerdikan dan kemampuan. Pandangan yang menggambarkan bahawa tamadun kini lebih maju kerana kapasiti otak dan kepintaran manusia di abad ke-21 lebih berkembang adalah perspektif yang salah, hasil daripada propaganda evolusionis. Hakikatnya, memang terdapat perbezaan tanggapan dan budaya di antara masyarakat yang hidup di wilayah-wilayah yang berlainan. Tetapi jika orang asli di Australia tidak mempunyai ilmu yang setanding dengan saintis Amerika, itu tidak bermakna yang otaknya belum cukup berkembang. Ramai orang yang dilahirkan di dalam masyarakat sedemikian mungkin belum tahu tentang kewujudan elektrik, tetapi masih mempunyai tahap kepintaran yang tinggi.
Tambahan pula, keperluan berbeza muncul pada kurun yang berlainan. Tahap fesyen kita pada hari ini tidak sama dengan masyarakat Mesir purba, tetapi tidak bererti budaya kita lebih maju daripada mereka. Sementara bangunan pencakar langit melambangkan ketamadunan abad ke-21, bukti peradaban di zaman mereka ialah piramid dan sphinx.

| A scientist evaluating evidence with evolutionist prejudices may make many interpretations about the relevant period. But for these interpretations to be accepted, they must be supported by clear findings and data. So far, evolutionists have found no evidence to support their myths of half-human and half-ape creatures that communicated by grunting, lived in caves, sat around fires wearing furs and hunted with primitive weapons. These are only figments of the evolutionist imagination. Science shows that human beings have always been fully human. |
Persoalannya terletak pada perspektif dari mana fakta-fakta ditafsirkan. Seseorang yang bermula dengan pra-anggapan yang menyokong perkembangan evolusi akan menilai semua maklumat yang diterima berlandaskan prejudis tersebut. Maka dia akan berusaha untuk mempertahankan kenyataannya dengan cerita-cerita dongeng. Dengan hanya berdaarkan pecahan telulang fosil, dia akan mengagak banyak perincian, seperti bagaimana manusia yang hidup di kawasan itu menjalani kehidupan seharian mereka, struktur keluarga dan hubungan sosial mereka, sejajar dengan andaian awal berkenaan. Dia kemudiannya akan menyimpulkan, berdasarkan hasil penemuan tersebut, bahawa mereka tidak mampu berdiri tegak dan mendengus, diselaputi bulu dan menggunakan alatan batuan yang kasar — bukan kerana ia dinyatakan oleh bukti saintifik, tetapi ideologinya yang memerlukan semua khayalan itu. Sebenarnya, fakta-fakta yang dijumpai langsung tidak menunjukkan sebarang keadaan seumpama itu. Gambaran itu hanyalah pemahaman yang terhasil daripada mentaliti para pejuang Darwinisme.
Pada masa ini, ahli-ahli arkeologi yang membuat kajian lebih mendalam tentang zaman yang dibincangkan berdasarkan tinggalan fosil, ukiran batu atau lukisan pada dinding gua, hampir tiada perbezaan dengan contoh di atas. Evolusionis masih lagi menulis tentang hampir keseluruhan aspek kehidupan masyarakat primitif berlandaskan analisis yang prejudis terhadap bukti-bukti yang ada. Gambaran dan ilustrasi khayalan mereka masih menghiasi halaman dalam banyak majalah dan akhbar.
Ini satu lagi senario yang dicipta oleh Louis Leakey, antara evolusionis kontemporari terkenal, berkaitan dengan kehidupan seharian orang primitif:
Mari kita bayangkan sebentar seolah-olah kita mampu memerhati rangkaian peristiwa di petempatan batu lebih kurang dua puluh atau tiga puluh ribu tahun dahulu.
Seorang pemburu di Zaman Batu sedang merayau menuruni lembah untuk mencari haiwan buruan sewaktu terlihat sebuah gua di tebing curam di atasnya. Dia kemudiannya memanjat dengan berhati-hati dan waspada, takut jika gua itu didiami oleh kelompok orang Zaman Batu lain yang akan marah dengan kehadirannya, atau mungkin juga itu adalah sarang singa atau beruang. Akhirnya, dia amat hampir dan dapat melihat dengan jelas bahawa gua tersebut kosong, kemudian dia masuk dan memeriksa keadaan sekeliling. Dia membuat keputusan bahawa gua itu lebih sesuai untuk didiami berbanding dengan tempat tinggal keluarganya sekarang, dan terus pergi menjemput mereka.
Kemudian, kita melihat keluarga itu sampai dan mendiami rumah baru mereka. Api dinyalakan sama ada melalui sedikit bara yang dibawa dari rumah lama, atau dengan cara ian yang mudah, penggerek api kayu. (Tidak dapat dipastikan cara sebenar yang digunakan oleh orang Zaman Batu untuk memarakkan api, tetapi kita tahu bahawa mereka telah mengguna api sejak awal lagi kerana lantai pediang atau perapian merupakan ciri yang biasa ditemui dalam hampir setiap peringkat kehidupan di gua dan petempatan batu.)
Barangkali beberapa anggota keluarga itu kemudiannya pergi mengumpul rumput atau pakis untuk dijadikan alas tempat tidur, sementara yang lain memetik ranting dari semak dan pokok di kawasan belukar berhampiran lalu membina dinding kasar menutupi kawasan hadapan gua. Kulit pelbagai binatang liar dibentang dan diletakkan di dalam rumah bau, bersamaan dengan barangan rumah lain yang dimiliki.
Kini keluarga tersebut telah sepenuhnya berpindah, dan rutin seharian berulang lagi. Yang lelaki memburu dan memerangkap haiwan untuk dijadikan makanan, yang perempuan mungkin juga membantu dalam pemburuan ini dan mengumpul buah-buahan dan akar yang boleh dimakan.2
Gambaran yang amat terperinci tadi sekadar berdasarkan imaginasi penulisnya dan langsung tiada bukti saintifik. Evolusionis yang menokok-tambah cerita dongeng sedemikian dengan pelbagai istilah sains, semata-mata hanya berlandaskan kepada beberapa ketulan tulang. (Sebenarnya, fosil-fosil tersebut tidak menunjukkan sebarang kewujudan proses evolusi – bertentangan sekali dengan dakwaan evolusionis!). Jelas bahawa serpihan tulang tidak mampu memberi maklumat yang tepat tentang apa jua emosi yang menjadi ilham masyarakat zaman purba, cara kehidupan seharian mereka, atau bagaimana mereka berpisah di kalangan mereka sendiri.
Tetapi, dongeng evolusi manusia ditokok tambah dengan senario dan ilustrasi khayalan yang tidak terkira, dan diguna secara bebas oleh evolusionis. Gagal mengelak daripada dogma evolusi sejak mula mengemukakan teori ini, mereka telah menghasilkan versi berlainan tentang senario di atas. Tujuannya bukan untuk memberi penjelasan, sebaliknya menyebarkan doktrin dan propaganda agar ramai orang percaya akan kewujudan orang primitif.
Ramai evolusionis cuba membuktikan dakwaan mereka dengan menghasilkan senario sedemikian walaupun tanpa adanya sebarang bukti sokongan. Tetapi setiap penemuan baru apabila ditafsir dengan cara yang benar, dengan jelas akan mendedahkan kepada mereka beberapa fakta, antaranya: manusia sememangnya manusia sejak kewujudannya lagi. Sepanjang sejarah, sifat-sifat seperti kepintaran dan kebolehan artistik tetap sama. Mereka yang hidup di masa lampau bukan primitif, makhluk separa manusia dan separa binatang, seperti mana yang digambarkan evolusionis. Mereka berfikir, bertutur sepertimana manusia, menghasilkan kerja-kerja seni dan mengembangkan struktur budaya dan etika. Sebentar lagi, kita akan melihat penemuan arkeologi dan paleontologi membuktikan hal ini dengan jelas dan tidak dapat dipertikaikan.
Bayangkan apa yang akan ditinggalkan oleh peradaban kita hari ini dalam ratusan ribu tahun. Semua penimbunan budaya kita – lukisan, arca dan istana – akan lenyap, dan cuma sedikit kesan teknologi hari ini yang akan tinggal. Banyak bahan yang direka untuk tahan digunakan akhirnya akan di telan masa secara beransur-ansur di bawah pengaruh keadaan semulajadi. Keluli akan berkarat. Konkrit akan reput. Kemudahan bawah tanah roboh, dan semua bahan memerlukan penyelenggaraan. Sekarang bayangkan pula puluhan ribu tahun telah berlalu, dan ianya telah ditimpa dengan ribuan gelen hujan, angin kencang berabad lamanya, banjir yang berulang dan gempa bumi. Boleh jadi apa yang tinggal hanyalah serpihan gergasi ukiran batu, blok-blok yang membentuk bangunan dan tinggalan beberapa arca, sama seperti apa yang telah ditinggalkan oleh sejarah. Ataupun tinggalan kita tidak dapat memberi maklumat penuh berkaitan dengan tamadun kita, hanya segelintir puak yang hidup di Afrika, Australia atau beberapa tempat lain di dunia. Dengan erti kata lain, teknologi yang kita miliki hari ini (televisyen, komputer, ketuhar gelombang mikro, dsb), tiada kesan yang tinggal meskipun kerangka utama bangunan atau beberapa serpihan arca tetap bertahan. Andainya saintis masa depan melihat kesan yang berselerak ini dan menggambarkan semua masyarakat pada masa itu hidup mundur, tidakkah mereka telah tersasar daripada kebenaran?

Year 2000Archaeologists with an evolutionist prejudice assert that the bison sculptures in the Tuc d'Audoubert cave in the foot-hills of the Pyrenees in southern France—which statues have no less artistic value than today's works of art such as, for example, the statues of Rodin—were made by so-called primitive people. But the technique and aesthetic appearance of the works show that whoever produced them was no different physically or mentally from present-day human beings, and was actually more artistically sophisticated than most. | Year 8000If Rodin's "The Thinker" is discovered 6,000 years from now, and people interpret it with the same prejudice that some scientists interpret past today, they will think that 20th-century peoples worshipped a man who pondered, and were not yet socialized, etc. Wouldn't this show how far they were from the truth? |
Atau, jika seseorang menemui kerja yang ditulis dalam bahasa Mandarin dan membuat kesimpulan hanya berdasarkan teks ini, bahawa orang Cina merupakan bangsa terkebelakang yang berhubung melalui simbol-simbol pelik, apakah ini menggambarkan fakta sebenar? Ambil contoh arca ‘The Thinker’ oleh Auguste Rodin yang sememangnya dikenali di seluruh dunia. Bayangkan jika arca ini ditemui semula oleh ahli arkeologi puluhan ribu tahun dari sekarang. Jika pengkaji tersebut berpegang kepada praandaian tentang kepercayaan dan cara hidup masyarakat kita, dan kekurangan dokumentasi sejarah, mereka juga mungkin mentafsir arca ini dengan cara berbeza. Mereka mungkin membayangkan bahawa komuniti kita menyembah arca ‘orang berfikir’, atau juga mendakwa patung berkenaan mewakili mitologi dewa-dewa yang salah.
Hari ini, pastinya kita tahu bahawa ‘The Thinker’ adalah kerja seni yang dihasilkan atas dasar estetik dan artistik. Dengan kata lain, jika penyelidik puluhan ribu tahun kemudian kekurangan informasi dan berpegang pada praandaiannya tentang masa lalu, amat mustahil baginya untuk melihat kebenaran kerana dia akan mentafsir ‘The Thinker’ mengikut praandaian sendiri dan mereka-reka senario yang bersesuaian. Maka, menilai maklumat yang ada tanpa prejudis atau berat sebelah, mengelak segala bentuk praandaian, dan berfikir dalam konteks yang luas adalah amat perlu. Perlu diingat, kita tiada bukti bahawa masyarakat berubah atau masyarakat purba adalah primitif. Semua andaian tersebut semata-mata mengandungi spekulasi dan berdasarkan analisis oleh ahli sejarah dan arkeologi yang menyokong evolusi. Contohnya, lukisan haiwan pada dinding gua langsung digambarkan sebagai lukisan primitif oleh orang gua. Tetapi boleh jadi lukisan tersebut menjelaskan banyak pemahaman estetik yang dimiliki oleh mereka pada masa itu. Seorang artis yang memakai pakaian paling moden di masa itu pada mereka sekadar untuk tujuan artistik. Sebenarnya, ramai saintis kini menegaskan kemustahilan lukisan gua ini merupakan hasil kerja minda primitif.
True History Covered Up | ||
| Most of what we know about history we learned from books. Readers seldom doubt the contents of such books and accept their contents at face value. But especially when it comes to human history, very often the book presents a theory shaped by a concept that is no longer valid in the fields of biology, molecular biology, paleontology, genetics, biogenetics and anthropology. Along with the scientific collapse of the theory of evolution, our understanding of history based on it has also been invalidated.
The historian, Edward A. Freeman, discusses how our historical knowledge reflects the "facts": For in all historical inquiries we are dealing with facts which themselves come within the control of human will and human caprice, and the evidence for which depends on the trustworthiness of human informants, who may either purposely deceive or unwittingly mislead. A man may lie; he may err. 6 So, how can we be certain that the history handed down to us is true? First of all, we must make sure of the objective certainty of the facts presented to us by historians and archaeologists. As with most abstract concepts, the interpretation of history may mean different things to different people. The account of an event may vary according to the point of view of who relates it. And the interpretation of events is often quite different when recounted by individuals who did not witness them. "History" is defined as the chronological record of past events. What gives meaning and significance to these events is how the historian presents them. For example, the history of a war may be influenced by the writer's opinion of whether the winning side was right or wrong. If he feels sympathy for either side, he will consider them to be the "champion of freedom," even if it invaded the other's territory and committed numerous atrocities. 7 For example, if you examine the history books of two nations hostile to each other, you'll see that each interprets the same events in a totally different way. This is exactly what evolutionist historians and scientists have done today. With no concrete proofs to rely on, they present the so-called evolutionary history of human beings as a certain truth. They ignore the strong evidence that refutes their theory, interpret the evidence they have in terms of their prejudice, and present this theory, that some scientists adopted as an ideology, as a law. |
Satu lagi contoh ialah gambaran batu berhujung runcing sebagai perkakas pertama yang dibuat oleh ‘manusia beruk’. Manusia pada masa itu mungkin telah membentuk batu ini untuk tujuan hiasan. Tiada sebarang bukti dan hanya andaian bahawa serpihan yang dijumpai digunakan sebagai alat. Saintis evolusionis telah mengkaji bukti yang ditemui secara berat sebelah. Mereka memanipulasi beberapa fosil yang mereka rasa dapat membuktikan teori tersebut, dan mengabai malahan membuang fosil yang lain. Cara serupa telah dimainkan untuk membuktikan bahawa sejarah juga mengalami evolusi.3 Ahli antropologi berbangsa Amerika, Melville Herskovits menerangkan bagaimana evolusi sejarah berlaku dan cara evolusionis mentafsir bukti yang ditemui:
Setiap penganjur evolusi budaya memberi perincian berdasarkan andaian tentang perkembangan yang dianggapnya telah membentuk perkembangan manusia, oleh itu banyak contoh rantaian yang tidak selari telah direkodkan. Sesetengah daripada perkembangan ini hanya dihadkan untuk satu aspek budaya sahaja…4
What will Remain In Tens of Thousands of Years' Time?/h6> | ||||||
| Compared with the history of mankind, the lifespan of the materials often used in construction, industry, technological products, and many areas of daily life is relatively short.
If people lived in extremely sophisticated timber buildings tens of thousands of years ago, it is perfectly understandable that little evidence should remain today. Imagine that our civilization were destroyed in some terrible disaster. How much of it would be left in a hundred thousand years? If a future people were to regard us as primitive on the basis of a few bones and pieces of foundation, how accurate would their interpretation be? In tens of thousands of years' time, all that will remain of any of today's buildings will be a few blocks of stone. Wooden materials, and objects made of iron will rot away. For example, nothing will remain of the Çirağan Palace's fine wall paintings, its beautiful furniture, its splendid curtains and carpets, the chandeliers or other lighting equipment. These materials will decay and vanish. Someone coming across the remains of the Çirağan Palace in the distant future may see only a few large chunks of stone and perhaps a few of the palace's foundations. If it's suggested, on the basis of this, that the people of our time had not yet established settled patterns of living and lived in primitive shelters made by piling stones atop one another, this analysis would be completely mistaken.
The remains that have survived down to the present may have once been exceedingly beautiful buildings, just like the Çirağan Palace. If one were to place furniture atop of these ruins and decorate them with curtains, carpets and lamps, the result would be quite impressive once again. The Qur'an refers to bygone societies as being highly advanced in terms of art, architecture, culture and knowledge. In one verse, we are told that societies of the past were very superior: Haven't they traveled in the Earth and seen the final fate of those before them? They were greater than them in strength and left far deeper traces on the Earth. . . . (Qur'an, 40:21) | ||||||
Satu contoh penting yang mengesahkan pandangan Herskovits adalah kajian yang dijalankan oleh Lewis Henry Morgan, seorang ahli etnologi evolusionis yang mengkaji fasa dialami untuk mencapai struktur ketua keluarga dan monogami, yang menurutnya telah ‘berubah’ daripada primitif kepada yang lebih maju. Tetapi dalam menjalankan kajian ini, beliau menggunakan pelbagai masyarakat berbeza di seluruh dunia sebagai contoh, yang langsung tidak berkaitan antara satu sama lain. Beliau kemudian menetapkan mereka bersesuaian dengan keputusan yang ingin dicapai. Jelas di sini bahawa daripada ratusan ribu budaya yang ada di dunia, beliau hanya memilih sebahagian yang bersesuaian dengan pendapatnya.
Herskovits menggambarkan bagaimana Morgan menyusun semula sejarah demi untuk membenarkan pandangannya. Bermula dengan komuniti primitif Australia yang bersistem matriarki, beliau menghubungkannya dengan masyarakat India Amerika bersistem patriarki. Kemudian meneruskan rantaian itu kepada puak-puak Yunani purba di zaman proto sejarah, di mana keturunan dimulakan oleh susur galur lelaki, tetapi tanpa monogami yang bersunguh-sungguh. Akhirnya skala urutan itu diwakili oleh peradaban hari ini – dengan keturunan bermula dari susur galur lelaki dan tanpa monogami yang tegas.
Herskovits memberi komentar terhadap urutan rekaan ini:
Tetapi jika siri ini dilihat dari perspektif sejarah, ia sememangnya karut…5
People Living 1.5 Million Years Ago Looked After Their Elderly | ||
A fossil discovered in Dmanisi, Georgia in 2005 once again revealed that the "evolution of human history" scenario in no way squares with the facts. According to evolutionists' unscientific claims, the first human beings lived like animals, with no family life or social order. However, a fossil skull belonging to an elderly human being, discovered by the paleoanthropologist David Lordkipanidze, showed that these claims are untrue. The fossil discovered belonged to an older human who had only one tooth left. Scientists believe that the owner of the skull had other diseases as well as being nearly toothless. That this person survived well into old age, despite having so many infirmities, represents significant evidence that this individual was cared for and that others took an interest in others' welfare. Lordkipanidze says: It is clear that this was a sick individual… We think this is a good argument that this individual had support from other members of the group. 8 Evolutionists maintain that human beings developed social cultural behavior at least 1.5 million years after the owner of this skull died. The fossil in question thus refutes evolutionist claims, showing that millions of years ago people felt compassion toward the sick, looked after and protected them. This discovery once again shows that humans have never lived like animals, but always like human beings. (*) Evolutionists claim that Homo erectus was an intermediate species between apes and human beings in Man's supposed evolution. The fact is, however, that there is no difference between the present-day human skeleton and that of Homo erectus, whose skeleton is fully upright, and fully human. |
 |
| One of the wall paintings discovered in the caves at Lascaux. Clearly, that could not be the work of a primitive human who had only just parted ways with apes. |
Evolusionis berpendapat bahawa lebih kurang 30-40,000 tahun dahulu di Eropah, dan dalam jangka waktu yang lebih awal di Afrika, manusia beruk telah mengalami proses perubahan mengejut, dan tiba-tiba memiliki kemampuan berfikir dan menghasilkan barang-barang, sama seperti manusia hari ini. Ini kerana penemuan arkeologi pada masa itu memberi bukti penting yang tidak mampu dijelaskan oleh teori evolusi. Menurut teori Darwin, teknologi peralatan batuan yang tidak berubah untuk hampir 200,000 tahun, tiba-tiba diganti dengan teknologi yang lebih maju dan berkembang pantas. Orang primitif yang kononnya turun dari pokok hanya mula hidup moden sebelum tiba-tiba memiliki bakat artistik dan mula mengukir serta melukis gambar-gambar yang amat indah dan canggih pada dinding gua di samping menghasilkan objek hiasan yang terlalu cantik seperti rantai leher dan gelang.
Apa yang menyebabkan perkembangan sedemikian? Bagaimana dan mengapa ‘makhluk separa beruk yang primitif’ mendapat kebolehan artistik? Saintis evolusionis tidak mempunyai penjelasan bagaimana perkara ini berlaku, walaupun mereka ada mencadangkan beberapa hipotesis. Roger Lewin, seorang evolusionis menjelaskan kesukaran yang dihadapi oleh penyokong Darwin berkaitan masalah ini dalam bukunya yang berjudul The Origin of Modern Humans: “Mungkin kerana rekod arkeologi yang belum sempurna masih samar, ramai ilmuwan memberi maklumbalas berbeza berkaitan persoalan ini.”9
Walau bagaimanapun, penemuan arkeologi mendedahkan bahawa manusia telah mempunyai pemahaman budaya sejak awal kewujudannya lagi. Dari masa ke masa, pemahaman itu berkembang, berkurang, atau mengalami perubahan mendadak. Tetapi itu tidak bermakna proses evolusi telah terjadi, sebaliknya berlaku perkembangan dan perubahan budaya. Kemunculan hasil seni yang digambarkan oleh evolusionis sebagai ‘mendadak’, tidak menunjukkan sebarang perubahan biologi manusia (terutamanya dari segi kebijaksanaan). Penduduk pada masa itu boleh jadi mengalami perubahan dari segi sosial, dan pemahaman artistik dan produktif mereka mungkin berubah, tetapi ini tidak memberi sebarang bukti perubahan daripada primitif kepada moden.

| If later generations were to evaluate the present-day artworks in light of evolutionist preconceptions, very different opinions about our society might result. Evolutionists of the future might view the works of Pablo Picasso or Salvador Dali, or other surrealists, and suggest that people of our day were rather primitive. However, that would totally fail to reflect the true facts. |
Perbezaan ketara antara tinggalan arkeologi yang ditinggalkan oleh masyarakat purba dan saki-baki anatomi dan biologi yang sepatutnya wujud – menurut evolusionis – sekali lagi menyanggah dakwaan para penyokong Darwin berkaitan subjek ini. (Untuk bukti terperinci yang meruntuhkan rekaan struktur keluarga manusia ini, yang merupakan asas dakwaan Darwinisme, sila baca buku bertajuk Menyanggah Darwinisme karya Harun Yahya.) Evolusionis berpendapat bahawa perkembangan budaya manusia seharusnya sejajar dengan pembangunan dari segi biologi. Misalannya, manusia terlebih dahulu mesti meluahkan emosi asas menerusi lukisan-lukisan mudah, kemudian mengembangkannya sehingga pembangunan secara beransur-ansur itu akhirnya sampai ke kemuncak pencapaian artistik. Walau bagaimanapun, tinggalan artistik awal yang tersisa daripada sejarah manusia menghancurkan sepenuhnya andaian itu. Lukisan, ukiran dan ukiran timbul pada dinding-dinding gua dianggap sebagai contoh seni yang terawal, sekaligus membuktikan bahawa manusia di zaman itu memiliki pemahaman estetik yang sangat mendalam.
Ramai saintis yang membuat kajian di gua-gua menilai lukisan tersebut sebagai hasil kerja yang paling penting dan berharga dalam sejarah seni. Teknik bayangan pada lukisan-lukisan ini, penggunaan perspektif dan garis halus, kesungguhan perasaan yang terjelma pada ukirannya, dan corak estetik yang terhasil di waktu ukiran itu disinari cahaya mentari – kesemuanya merupakan ciri yang tidak mampu dijelaskan oleh evolusionis kerana menurut mereka, perkembangan sebegitu seharusnya muncul lebih lewat.
Banyak lukisan gua yang ditemui di Perancis, Sepanyol, Itali, China, India, sebahagian Afrika dan kawasan dunia yang lain memberi maklumat penting tentang struktur budaya masyarakat purba. Gaya dan teknik mewarna yang digunakan dalam lukisan ini sangat berkualiti sehingga mengagumkan para pengkaji. Tetapi saintis yang menganjurkan teori Darwin tetap juga menilainya mengikut prejudis masing-masing dan mentafsir hasil kerja tersebut secara berat sebelah agar berpadanan dengan cerita dongeng mereka. Mereka mendakwa bahawa hidupan yang baru menjadi manusia melukis gambaran binatang yang ditakuti atau diburu, dan melakukannya dalam keadaan serba primitif di gua tempat mereka tinggal. Tetapi teknik yang digunakan membutikan bahawa seniman purba mempunyai pemahaman yang sangat mendalam, serta berupaya untuk menggambarkannya dengan cara yang sangat menarik.
Teknik lukisan yang diaplikasikan juga membuktikan bahawa mereka langsung tidak hidup dalam keadaan serba kekurangan. Tambahan pula, lukisan pada dinding gua bukan bukti bahawa mereka tinggal di gua pada masa itu. Artis-artis tersebut mungkin tinggal berdekatan di kediaman yang lebih baik, tetapi memilih untuk melukis pada dinding gua. Emosi dan pemikiran bagaimana yang mempengaruhi subjek yang ingin dipersembahkan hanya diketahui di kalangan artis itu sendiri. Banyak spekulasi telah dikeluarkan berkenaan lukisan ini, di mana tafsiran yang paling mengarut ialah lukisan tersebut dihasilkan oleh hidupan yang berada di tahap primitif. Apa yang jelas, satu laporan yang diterbitkan di laman web BBC’s Science pada 22 Februari 2000, mengandungi baris berikut berkaitan lukisan-lukisan gua:
...[kita] menyangka bahawa ianya dibuat oleh orang primitif... Tetapi menurut dua orang saintis yang bekerja di Afrika Selatan, tanggapan terhadap pelukis purba ini salah. Mereka percaya lukisan-lukisan tersebut adalah bukti masyarakat yang kompleks dan moden.10
Andainya hasil seni hari ini akan dikaji dengan pemikiran yang sama dalam ribuan tahun, banyak polemik mungkin timbul tentang sama ada masyarakat abad ke-21 merupakan puak primitif atau tamadun yang maju. Jika lukisan-lukisan artis moden yang berkeadaan baik ditemui 5,000 tahun kemudian, dan tiada dokumentasi bertulis yang masih wujud tentang keadaan hari ini, bagaimanakah tanggapan generasi akan datang terhadap tamadun kita?
Sekiranya masyarakat akan datang menemui hasil kerja Van Gogh atau Picasso dan menilainya dari perspektif evolusionis, bagaimanakah tanggapan mereka terhadap masyarakat moden kita? Apakah pemandangan Claude Monet akan mengilhamkan komentar seperti “Industri belum lagi dibangunkan, dan manusia hanya menjalani cara hidup pertanian”, atau gambaran abstrak Wassily Kandinsky mengilhamkan komentar seperti “Manusia masih belum mampu membaca atau tulisan hanya difahami melalui pelbagai contengan”? Apakah tafsiran sebegini akan membawa mereka hampir kepada gambaran sebenar masyarakat moden kita?
Walaupun tidak mempunyai sebarang bukti, para evolusionis tetap berkeras bahawa manusia dan beruk berasal daripada moyang yang sama. Apabila ditanya tentang permulaan proses evolusi, mereka kemudiannya memberi jawapan yang langsung tidak saintifik, “Kami tidak tahu, walau bagaimanapun kami berharap untuk mengetahuinya suatu hari nanti.” Sebagai contoh, Elaine Morgan, seorang ahli kaji fosil manusia yang juga seorang evolusionis membuat pengakuan ini:
Empat perkara paling misteri berkenaan [evolusi] manusia adalah: 1) Kenapa mereka berjalan di atas dua kaki? 2) Kenapa mereka kehilangan bulu? 3) Kenapa mereka memiliki saiz otak yang besar? 4) Kenapa mereka belajar untuk bercakap?
Jawapan evolusionis untuk semua persoalan tersebut adalah: 1) ‘Kami belum tahu’; 2) ‘Kami belum tahu’; 3) ‘Kami belum tahu’; 4) ‘Kami belum tahu’. Senarai soalan-soalan tadi juga boleh dipanjangkan lagi tanpa mempengaruhi monotoni jawapan yang diberikan.30

| Pictures reflect the artist's visual and conceptual understanding. Yet drawing conclusions from these pictures about what the people of the time ate, what conditions they lived in and what their social relationships were like—and then maintaining that these comments are absolutely accurate—is an unscientific approach. As a result of their prejudiced attitudes, evolutionists stubbornly continue to describe bygone peoples as primitive. The figures in this picture can be seen to be wearing herringbone cloth. This shows that people at the time were not savages, wandering around half-naked, as evolutionists claim. | |
The Superior Painting Technique in Cave Art | |||||||
In the French Pyrenees, the Niaux Cave is filled with most impressive pictures drawn by people who lived in prehistoric times. Carbon dating performed on these paintings show that they were completed around 14,000 years ago. The Niaux Cave paintings were discovered in 1906 and have been examined in great detail ever since. The most decorated portion of the cave is a side chamber formed by a high cavity, in a dark section known as the Salon Noir. In his book The Origin of Modern Humans, Roger Lewin makes the following comment about this section, with its images of bison, horses, deer and ibexes: " ... arranged in panels and giving the impression of foresight and deliberation in their execution." 11
One important element about these pictures that has attracted the most interest of scientists is the painting technique employed. Research has shown that the artists obtained special compounds by mixing natural and local ingredients. No doubt that this indicates an ability to think, plan and produce far beyond the reach of any beings still in a primitive state. Lewin describes this painting technique thus: The painting materials—pigments and mineral extenders—were carefully selected by Upper Paleolithic people and ground to within 5 to 10 micrometers to produce a specific mix. The black pigment, as had been suspected, was charcoal and manganese dioxide. But the real interest was in the extenders, of which there seemed to be four distinct recipes, which the researchers number one through four. Extenders help to bring out the color of the pigment and, as their name implies, add bulk to the paint without diluting the color. The four recipes for extenders used at Niaux were talc; a mixture of baryte and potassium feldspar; potassium feldspar alone; and potassium feldspar mixed with an excess of biotite. Clottes and his colleagues experimented with some of these extenders and found them to be extremely effective. 12 This highly advanced technique is evidence that no being that can be described as primitive ever existed in the past. Ever since Man first came into existence, he has been a superior being, with the ability to think, speak, reason, understand, analyze, plan and produce. It is completely irrational and illogical to claim that people who used extender to color their paintings and who successfully mixed such substances as talc, baryte, potassium feldspar and biotite to obtain such extenders had only recently parted ways with apes and become civilized.
The people who produced the cave paintings dating back as far as 35,000 BCE used paints containing such chemicals and substances as manganese oxide, iron oxide, iron hydroxide, and dentine (the inner part of the teeth in vertebrates, consisting of collagen and calcium). If you were to ask someone who had received no training in chemistry to reproduce any of the paints used in these pictures, they would not know which chemical to use, how to get hold of it, and which other substances needed to be mixed together with it. In addition, the people of the time were also well-informed about animal anatomy, as indicated by their making use of collagen and calcium powder from the teeth of vertebrates. The horse at the bottom right is from one of the paintings in the Niaux Cave. Research has shown the painting to be some 11,000 years old. The close resemblance between this horse and those living in the region today is noteworthy in revealing the ability of the artist, who clearly had a highly developed artistic sense. That the paintings in question were made on cave walls is definitely no evidence that the artists lived primitive lives. There is a high probability that they used these walls as their canvas solely out of personal preference. |
The Works Found In The Blombos Cave Again Demolish The Human-Evolution Scenario! | ||
Discoveries during excavations in the Blombos Caves on the coast of South Africa once again overturned the scenario of human evolution. The Daily Telegraph covered the story under the headline "Stone Age Man Wasn't So Dumb." Various newspapers and magazines also carried the story, stating that theories about prehistoric man need to be completely changed. For example, BBC News reported that, "Scientists say the discovery shows that modern ways of thinking developed far earlier than we think." 13 Found in the Blombos caves were pieces of ochre dating back 80-100,000 years. It was conjectured that they were used for painting the body and in other works of art. Prior to this discovery, scientists had suggested that evidence of the human capacity for thought, understanding and production had emerged 35,000 years ago at the earliest. These new findings totally demolished that supposition. People of that time, whom evolutionists had described as primitive and even as semi-apes, possessed the ability to understand and produce, just like present-day humans. |
Stunning Pictures in The Chauvet Cave | ||||||||
Paintings discovered in the Chauvet Cave in 1994 caused an enormous reaction in the scientific world. Before that, works of art in Ardèche, the 20,000-year-old images at Lascaux and the 17,000-year-old works in Altamira in Spain had all attracted considerable attention. But the images in Chauvet were a great deal older than these. Carbon dating revealed that these paintings were around 35,000 years old. The following comment appeared in National Geographic magazine:
The first photographs captivated specialists and the public alike. For decades scholars had theorized that art had advanced in slow stages from primitive scratchings to lively, naturalistic renderings... Approximately twice as old as those in the more famous caves, Chauvet's images represented not the culmination of prehistoric art but its earliest known beginnings. 14 | ||||||||
16,500-Year-Old Astronomical Plans In Lascaux | |||||||
| As a result of his studies, Dr. Michael Rappenglueck, a researcher from the University of Munich, revealed that the paintings on the walls of the famous Lascaux caves in central France had an astronomical significance. He reconstructed the figures on the cave walls on computer, using the photogrammetry technique, which showed that the geometrical circles, angles and straight lines that emerged might all have a special significance. All values relating to the ecliptic inclination, the precession of the equinoxes, the regular movements of the stars, the diameter and radius of the Sun and Moon, and the refractions in the universe were added to the computer's calculations. As a result, these outlines were seen to refer to various constellations of stars and specific lunar motions. BBC News reported the following information in its Science section:
A prehistoric map of the night sky has been discovered on the walls of the famous painted caves at Lascaux in central France. The map, which is thought to date back 16,500 years, shows three bright stars known today as the Summer Triangle. A map of the Pleiades star cluster has also been found among the Lascaux frescoes… Discovered in 1940, the walls show the artistic talents of our distant ancestors. But the drawings may also demonstrate their scientific knowledge as well. 15 According to Darwinists' claims, the people who painted these pictures had supposedly only just descended from the trees. Their intellectual development had not yet completed. However, both these paintings' artistic value and results of the latest research totally invalidate these claims. Whoever left these paintings possessed a very superior aesthetic understanding, a developed artistic technique—and scientific knowledge. | |||||||

Reliefs and Pictures in North Africa Amaze Evolutionists | ||
| These giraffe reliefs, some 7,000 years old, were formed so perfectly as to give the impression that the herd is in motion. Clearly, this image is the work of thinking people, capable of making judgments and expressing themselves, and with an understanding of art.
This painting, which is also 7,000 years old, shows a man playing a musical instrument. The recent photograph below it shows a member of the Dzu, a native community in Botswana, playing a similar instrument. The fact is, a musical instrument similar to that used 7,000 years ago is still in use today! This is another striking example that demolishes Darwinist claims. Civilization does not always advance, as Darwinists maintain; sometimes it may remain the same for thousands of years. While this man keeps playing a venerable instrument that has existed for the past 7,000 years, on the other side of the world, digital symphonies are being composed using the most advanced computer technology. And both cultures co-exist at the same time. | ||

Catal Huyuk, Regarded as The First City In History, Refutes Evolution | |
| Generally agreed to date back to 9,000 BCE, Catal Huyuk is described as one of the first cities known to history. Its first discoveries initiated great debates in the world of archaeology, proving the invalidity of evolutionist claims once again. The archaeologist James Mellart describes how the advanced state of the region quite amazed him:
The amount of technological specialization at Catal Huyuk is one of the striking features in this highly developed society which was obviously in the vanguard of Neolithic progress . . . How for example, did they polish a mirror of obsidian, a hard volcanic glass, without scratching it and how did they drill holes through stone beads (including obsidian), holes so small that no find modern steel needle can penetrate? When and where did they learn to smelt copper and lead...?16 These findings showed that the inhabitants of Catal Huyuk possessed an understanding of urban life, were capable of planning, design and calculation, and that their artistic understanding was far more advanced than had been thought. Professor Ian Hodder, current leader of the excavation team, states that these findings obtained totally invalidate evolutionist claims. He says that they have unearthed an astonishing art whose origins were unclear and notes that it was very difficult to account for the geographical position of Catal Huyuk—which, according to Hodder, has no direct geographical link to areas known to be settled at the time. The frescoes discovered are very advanced for the period. He says that after enquiring why and how these people attained such an elevated artistic level, the real question is how the group of people achieved such a stunning cultural success. So far as we know, he says, there was no evolution in the cultural development achieved at Catal Huyuk, where such major works of art emerged spontaneously and from nothing. 17 | |

400,000-Year-Old Spears That Astonished Evolutionists | |
| In 1995, the German archaeologist Hartmut Thieme discovered a number of wooden remains in Schöningen, Germany. These had been carefully crafted spears—in other words, the world's oldest known hunting tools. This discovery came as a great surprise to evolutionists, in whose view systematic hunting occurred about 40,000 years ago, when modern humans supposedly first appeared. To make the Clacton and Lehringen spears, which had been found earlier, fit with the evolutionary lie, they had been downgraded to digging-sticks or snow-probes. 18 Actually, however, the Schöningen spears went back a great deal further—to around 400,000 years ago. In addition, their age was so certain that Robin Dennell, one of the Sheffield University archaeologists whose paper was published in Nature magazine, stated that it was impossible to alter their date or to engage in false interpretation of them:
But the Schöningen discoveries are unambiguously spears: to regard them as snow-probes or digging-sticks is like claiming that power drills are paperweights. 19 One reason why these spears so surprised evolutionist scientists is the misconception that the supposedly primitive humans of that time lacked the ability to manufacture such objects. Yet these spears are the product of a mind able to calculate and plan in stages. The trunk of a spruce tree around 30 years old was used for each spear, and its tip was made from the base, where the wood is hardest. Each spear was designed in the same proportions and—just as with modern criteria—its center of gravity was one-third of the way back from the sharp end. In the face of all this information, Robin Dennell comments: These represent considerable investment of time and skill—in selecting an appropriate tree, in roughing out the design and in the final stages of shaping. In other words, these [so-called] hominids were not living within a spontaneous 'five-minute culture', acting opportunistically in response to immediate situations. Rather, we see considerable depth of planning, sophistication of design, and patience in carving the wood, all of which have been attributed only to modern humans. 20 Thieme, who discovered the spears, says: The use of sophisticated spears as early as the Middle Pleistocene may mean that many current theories on early human behaviour and culture must be revised. 21 As Hartmut Thieme and Robin Dennell state, Darwinist claims concerning the history of mankind do not reflect the facts. The truth is, mankind never underwent evolution. Backward civilizations and highly developed and advanced ones both existed in the past. |
Traces Of Civilization On Gobekli Tepe | |||||||
Scientists described as "extraordinary and peerless" the findings obtained during excavations on Göbekli Tepe near Urfa, Turkey. These were giant, T-shaped pillars, taller than a man and 20 meters (65 feet) in diameter, with carved animal reliefs on them. They had been arranged in a circle. The feature that truly impressed the scientific world was the age of the site, which had been constructed 11,000 years ago. According to the evolutionists' claim, the people of the time must have constructed this imposing site using only primitive stone tools. According to this misconception, the engineering marvel in question was the work of hunter-gatherers using the most primitive implements 11,000 years ago. This, of course, is quite unbelievable. Professor Klaus Schmidt, leader of the excavation team on Göbekli Tepe sets out this fact stating that people alive at that time appear to have had the capacity for thought. Contrary to what is imagined, Schmidt states, these people were not primitive and must not be regarded as ape-like creatures, recently descended from the trees and attempting to construct a civilization. In terms of intelligence, they appear to have been just like us. 22
Schmidt, an archaeologist, carried out a small experiment to determine how those giant pillars could have been transported under the conditions of the time, and how they were shaped. He and his team sought to carve a giant block of rock without the assistance of machinery, using only the primitive tools that prehistoric humans must have used, according to evolutionists. Then they attempted to carry it a short distance. Part of the team began working on the stone with logs, ropes and muscle power, making simple and natural winches. Meanwhile, others attempted to create a cavity in the base using stone hand-tools, just like the master masons of 9,000 years ago. (The evolutionist view of history believes that since there were no iron implements in those days, Stone-Age men used hard flints.) The workers trying to carve the stone labored non-stop for two hours, and all they obtained was a vague line. The team of 12 men trying to move the stone block worked hard for four hours, but only managed to move it seven meters, or roughly 20 feet. This simple experiment revealed that hundreds of workers would have to labor for months to form a single circular area of stones. Clearly, people of that time must have used highly advanced expertise, rather than the primitive methods suggested by evolutionist scientists.
Another inconsistency in the evolutionist timeline is that they name the period when these works were produced the "pre-pottery Neolithic Age." According to this unrealistic interpretation, people of that time hadn't yet achieved the technology to make pottery. Knowing that they made statues, transported giant stones, turned them into attractive pillars, carved reliefs of animals on them, decorated their walls with paintings and employed engineering and architectural knowledge, can we claim they didn't know how to make earthenware pots? That deceptive claim is persistently reiterated only to defend evolutionist preconceptions. No doubt the artifacts in question show that their makers possessed far more advanced knowledge, technology and civilization than was previously imagined. This in turn reveals that they were not at all primitive. Indeed, an article in the Turkish magazine Bilim ve Teknik says that the Göbekli Tepe discoveries expose a widespread misconception regarding the history of mankind: "These new data reveal a major misconception with regard to humanity's history." 23 That error lies in interpreting history in the light of the evolution deception. |
Dental Treatment Using Professional Techniques 8,000 Years Ago | ||
| Excavation carried out in Pakistan revealed that more than 8,000 years ago, dentists drilled teeth to remove decay. During the digs, Professor Andrea Cucina of the University of Missouri-Columbia noticed tiny holes, around 2.5 mm in diameter, on molars between 8,000 and 9000 years old. Impressed by the perfection of these holes, Cucina expanded his research by having his team examine the holes under an electron microscope.
They found that these tiny holes' sides were too perfectly rounded to be caused by bacteria. In other words, these were not natural cavities, but the result of artificial intervention, for the purposes of treatment. None of the teeth showed any sign of decay. That, as New Scientist magazine put it, "could simply be testimony to the skill of the prehistoric dentists." 24 At this time, according to the evolutionist doctrine, human beings had only recently diverged from apes. They were living under exceedingly primitive conditions and had only just learned to make earthenware pots, and then only in certain regions. How did people in such primitive circumstances manage to drill such perfect cavities in teeth that required dental treatment, even though they possessed no technology? Evidently these people were not primitive, and neither were the conditions in which they lived. On the contrary, they possessed the knowledge to diagnose disease and produce methods of treatment, and the technical means to use these methods successfully. Once again, this invalidates the Darwinist claim that societies evolve from the primitive to the modern. |
That is some of the news of the cities which We r elate to you. Some of them are still standing, while others are now just stubble.
(Qur'an, 11:100)
Ancient People's Passion For Music | ||
| The interest that people living some 100,000 years ago displayed in music is another indication that they shared almost the exact same tastes as we do today. The oldest known musical instrument, recovered at Haua Fteah, Libya, is a fossil flute made out of a bird's bone and estimated at between 70,000 and 80,000 years old. 25 Prolom II is a site from the Eastern Crimea where 41 phalange whistles were found. 26 This site dates back to between 90,000 and 100,000 years ago. 27 However, the musical knowledge of the people from that time goes still further. Musicologist Bob Fink analyzed a different flute, made from a bear's thighbone, found in July 1995 by the archaeologist Ivan Turk in a cave in northern Yugoslavia. Fink proved that this flute, determined by radiocarbon tests to be between 43,000 and 67,000 years old, produced four notes, and had half and full tones. This discovery shows that Neanderthals used the seven-note scale—the basic formula of today's Western music. Examining the flute, Fink saw that the distance between its second and third holes was double that between the third and fourth. This means that the first distance represents a whole tone, and the distance next to it a half-tone. Fink wrote, "These three notes . . . are inescapably diatonic and will sound like a near-perfect fit within any kind of standard diatonic scale, modern or antique." This reveals that Neanderthals were people with an ear for and knowledge of music. 28 These artifacts and archaeological discoveries raise a number of questions that Darwinism, which maintains that human beings and apes are descended from a common ancestor, cannot answer. For example, as for the ape-like creatures, which they claim lived tens of thousands of years ago, merely grunting and living an animal lifestyle—why and how did they begin to become social beings? This is a major dilemma for evolutionists. The theory of evolution has no scientific and rational answers as to why these ape-like creatures descended from the trees to the ground, how they managed to stand on two legs, and how their intelligence and abilities developed. The "explanations" are nothing more than preconceptions and fairy tales based solely on fantasy.
How did monkeys leaping from branch to branch decide to descend to the ground? If you ask evolutionists, they will say that this was because of climatic factors. The theory of evolution won't be able to provide a rational and logical answer to the first questions that come to mind. Why did other monkeys choose to remain in the branches when they could have imitated these ones who descended to the ground? Or, why did these climatic factors influence only some monkeys? What prevented others from descending from the trees under the same climatic influences? If you ask how it was that monkeys descended to the ground and began to walk on two legs, evolutionists will provide different accounts. Some will say, for instance, that these ape-like creatures decided to walk upright on two legs, the better to defend against powerful enemies. Yet none of these answers are scientific. First and foremost, there is no such thing as the evolution of bipedalism. Human beings walk upright on two feet—a very special form of locomotion not seen in any other species. One most important point that needs to be clarified is that bipedalism is not an evolutionary advantage. The way monkeys move is much easier, faster, and more efficient than human's bipedal stride. Human beings cannot move by jumping from tree to tree like a chimpanzee, nor run at a speed of 125 kilometers (80 miles) per hour like a cheetah. On the contrary, since we walk on two feet, we move much more slowly on the ground. For the same reason, we are one of the least protected of all species in nature. According to the logic of the theory of evolution, monkeys should not have been inclined to adopt a bipedal stride. Instead, humans should have become quadrupedal in order to survive and become the fittest. Another impasse for evolutionary claims is that bipedalism does not serve Darwinism's "gradual development" model, which constitutes the basis of evolution and requires that there should be a "compound" stride between bipedalism and quadrupedalism. However, with the computerized research he conducted in 1996, the British anatomist Robin Crompton showed that such a compound stride was not possible. Crompton reached the conclusion that a living being can either walk upright, or on all fours. 29 Any type of "hybrid" stride between the two is impossible because it would involve excessive energy consumption. Thus a half-bipedal being cannot exist. How did supposedly primitive beings develop intelligent social behavior? The answer, according to evolutionist nonsense, is that by living in groups, they thus developed intelligent and social behavior. Yet gorillas, chimpanzees, monkeys and many other animal species also live in groups or herds; and none of these has developed intelligent and social behavior in the way that humans have. None of them have constructed monuments, taken any interest in as tronomy or created works of art; because intelligent creative behavior is unique to human beings. All those artifacts that have survived from the past were made by humans with real artistic ability. The idea that these people lived under primitive conditions is refuted by archaeological facts. |
Evolutionists have no Scientific Evidence toback up Their Theories | |
| Evolutionists maintain, without any evidence, that human beings and apes are descended from a common ancestor. Asked how, then, this evolution might have come about, they respond, totally unscientifically, "We do not know, though we hope to one day."
For example, the evolutionist palaeoanthropologist Elaine Morgan makes this admission: Four of the most outstanding mysteries about [the evolution of] humans are: 1) why do they walk on two legs? The orthodox answers to these questions are: The list of questions could be c o n s i d e r a b l y lengthened without affecting the monotony of the answers. 30 |
Findings That Refute The Evolutionist Picture Of Mankind's History |
| Evidence provided in The Hidden History of the Human Race: Forbidden Archeology, by the archaeologists Michael A. Cremo and Richard L. Thompson, overturns the picture of the evolution of mankind as advocated by evolutionists. This book documents remains from totally unexpected—from the evolutionist viewpoint—periods in history. In the 1950s, for example, Thomas E. Lee, an anthropologist at the National Museum of Canada, carried out excavations at Sheguiandah, on Manitoulin Island in Lake Huron. There he found implements in a layer of glacial till, a deposit of sand and gravel left by receding glaciers. When it emerged that these were between 65,000 and 125,000 years old, the publication of the results of his research was postponed—because, according to the misconception dominating the scientific world, human beings had first arrived in North America from Siberia only 120,000 years ago, and it was impossible to claim that this happened any earlier. Another example provided in the book is archaeologist Carlos Ameghino, who discovered stone tools in an undisturbed 3-million-year-old Pliocene formation at Miramar, Argentina. From the same layers, he extracted the femur of a toxodon, an extinct South American hoofed mammal. Embedded in the femur was a stone arrowhead or lance point. Later, another researcher found a piece of a human jawbone in the same formation. Yet according to Darwinists, human beings capable of making stone balls and arrowheads emerged only 100,000 to 150,000 years ago. Therefore, any bones and arrowheads dating back 3 million years are phenomena that evolutionists are unable to explain. This shows, yet again, that the theory of evolution is incompatible with the scientific facts. 31 In his book Ancient Traces, the British researcher and writer Michael Baigent describes how a gold chain between 260 and 320 million years old was discovered in 1891. It emerged that this chain was of eight-carat gold, which is eight parts gold mixed with sixteen parts of another metal. The middle of the chain—which emerged from inside a piece of coal—was loosened, although the two ends were firmly embedded. Excellent imprints of the loosened section remained in the coal. All this shows that the chain had to be as old as the coal itself. The age of the coal seams in which the chain was found was 260 to 320 million years. 32 The discovery of a gold chain, from a time when evolutionists maintain that human beings did not yet even exist, totally demolished the history of mankind they've drawn up. The fact that a society uses jewelry and produces decorative items is proof that its citizens enjoyed a civilized life. Moreover, making a gold chain requires both technical expertise and equipment. No regular gold chain can be made from gold ore using stone tools alone. It's obvious that people living millions of years before our own day knew about jewelry-making and took pleasure from beautiful things. Another finding that overturns the theory of historical evolution is a piece of a nail estimated to be 387 million years old. According to a report by Sir David Brewster of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, the nail was found in a piece of sandstone. The seam from which the stone was taken dates back to the Early Devonian Period—making it around 387 million years old. 33 These findings, of which a great many more could be given, show that man is not a half-animal organism, as evolutionists would have us believe, and has never led an animalistic life. After listing similar examples, Michael Baigent goes on to make the following comment: . . . clearly there is no possibility that any of this data can be accommodated into the conventional scientific understanding of the earth's history. . . In fact, this evidence—if it can be substantiated even in just one of the cases we have reviewed—indicates that humans, in a modern form, have been walking upon this planet for a very long time indeed. 34 The history of archaeology is full of such discoveries, in the face of which the "conventional" evolutionist mindset that Baigent describes is in a hopeless situation. But the evolutionist mindset also carefully keeps these important specimens away from the public's gaze, and ignores them itself. No matter how much Darwinists strive to keep their ideology alive, the mounting evidence shows that evolution is a lie and that Creation is a fact that cannot be denied. God created Man out of nothing, breathed His spirit into him, and taught him what he did not know. Through God's inspiration, man has lived a human life ever since he first came into existence. |
Discoveries At The "Ein Gev I" Excavations Refute The Thesis of The Evolution of History | |
Research reveals that humans living thousands of years ago used implements similar to those used in rural areas today. Millstones for grinding cereals, a stone mortar and sickles were found in the foundations of a hut that dates back to 15,000 BCE at the excavation site known as "Ein Gev I" in present-day Palestine. The oldest of these implements date back to before 50,000 BCE.35 All the objects found in these digs reveal that mankind's needs have remained much the same at all times. The solutions Man has developed have been very similar to one another, in direct proportion to the technology of the time. Tools for harvesting and grinding cereals—the same implements most needed in rural areas today—were also used in the period in question. |
