believe. With them, evolutionists seek to convince people not on the
basis of concrete facts, but of fantastic speculation, because these are
based on their authors' prejudices and preconceptions, rather than
on scientific facts.
Evolutionists have no qualms about keeping these stories in the
professional literature, nor about presenting them as if they were sci-
entific truth, even though they are well aware of the erroneous na-
ture of their accounts. However, these scenarios so frequently voiced
by evolutionists constitute conjectures, not scientific evidence, for
the theory of evolution, because there is no evidence that Man is de-
scended from an ape-like ancestor. In the same way, no archaeologi-
cal or historical evidence suggests that societies evolve from the
primitive to the more advanced. Man has been Man ever since he
first came into existence, and has created different civilizations and
cultures in all periods of history. One of these civilizations is the
Mayan, whose remains still inspire amazement today.
Historical sources refer to a tall figure in white robes who came
to the communities living in this region. According to the informa-
tion contained on monuments, the belief in a single God spread for a
short time, while advances were made in science and art.
Some evolutionist scientists claim that the Mayans did not use metal tools. Yet if not, how can
we account for the detailed stonework in Mayan ruins? Metal tools would swiftly oxidize and
decay in the Yucatán rain forest, with its humid climate. It may well be, therefore, that Mayan
metal objects have not survived down to the present. But their surviving stone structures show
that it is impossible for such delicate and detailed work to have been produced using only stone
tools.
