The Mayans: Another Civilization That Refutes the Idea of the

Evolution of History

Almost all evolutionist publications have one thing in common: All of them devote considerable space to

imaginary scenarios regarding why some biological structure or characteristic of a living thing might have
evolved. The striking factor is that all the stories evolutionists dream up are depicted as scientific fact. The fact
is, however, that these accounts are nothing more than Darwinist fairy tales. Evolutionists seek to present the
scenarios they come up with as scientific evidence. Yet these accounts are all entirely misleading, of no scien-
tific worth, and can never constitute evidence for evolutionist claims.

One tale so frequently encountered in the evolutionist literature is that of allegedly ape-like creatures turn-
ing into human beings, and of primitive man gradually becoming a social entity. Despite there being no scien-
tific evidence to support them, reconstructions of these supposed primitive human beings—in which they are

depicted as walking only semi-upright, grunting, walking together with their "cave-families" or hunting with
crude stone tools—are the best known parts of this scenario.
These reconstructions amount to an invitation to imagine and believe. With them, evolutionists seek to con-
vince people not on the basis of concrete facts, but of fantastic speculation, because these are based on their au-
thors' prejudices and preconceptions, rather than on scientific facts.

Evolutionists have no qualms about keeping these stories in the professional literature, nor about present-
ing them as if they were scientific truth, even though they are well aware of the erroneous nature of their ac-
counts. 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 descended from an ape-like an-
cestor. In the same way, no archaeological or historical evidence suggests that societies evolve from the primi-
tive 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 information contained on monuments, the belief in a single God spread for a short time, while
advances were made in science and art.

Some evolutionist scien-
tists claim that the
Mayans did not use metal
tools. Yet if not, how can
we account for the de-
tailed stonework in
Mayan ruins? Metal tools
would swiftly oxidize and
decay in the Yucatán rain
forest, with its humid cli-
mate. It may well be,
therefore, that Mayan
metal objects have not
survived down to the pre-
sent. But their surviving
stone structures show that
it is impossible for such
delicate and detailed
work to have been pro-
duced using only stone
tools.
