On the contrary, you may have been handed the mistaken impression
that these people were half-ape and half-human, unable to stand fully
upright, lacking the ability to speak words and producing only strange
grunting noises. That is because this entire falsehood has been imposed
on people like yourself for the last 150 years.
The motive behind it is to keep alive materialist philosophy, which
denies the existence of a Creator. According to this view, which distorts
any fact that stands in its way, the universe and matter are eternal. In
other words they had no beginning, and thus have no Creator. The sup-
posedly scientific basis for this superstitious belief is the theory of evo-
lution.
Since materialists claim that the universe has no Creator, they must
provide their own explanation for how the life and myriad species on
Earth came into being. The theory of evolution is the scenario they em-
ployed for that purpose. According to this theory, all the order and life
in the universe came about spontaneously and by chance. Certain inan-
imate substances in the primeval world combined by accident to give
rise to the first living cell. As a result of millions of years of similar coin-
cidences, organisms came into existence. And finally came human be-
ings, as the final stage of this evolutionary chain.
The early history of mankind—which is alleged to have come into
being as the result of millions of accidental mutations, each more im-
possible than the last—has been distorted to fit in with this scenario.
According to the evolutionists' account, which is totally lacking in any
proof, the history of mankind is as follows: In the same way that life
forms progressed from a primitive organism up to man, the most highly
developed of all, so mankind's history must have advanced from the
most primitive community to the most advanced urban society. But this
assumption is completely devoid of any supporting evidence. It also
represents the history of mankind prepared in line with the claims of
materialist philosophy and the theory of evolution.
