A HISTORICAL LIE: THE STONE AGE

In the period denigrated by evolutionists as
the "Stone Age," people worshipped, lis-
tened to the message preached by the
messengers sent to them, constructed
buildings, cooked food in their kitchens,
chatted with their families, visited their
neighbors, had tailors sew clothes for
them, were treated by doctors, took an in-
terest in music, painted, made statues—
and, in short, lived perfectly normal lives.
As archaeological findings show, there have
been changes in technology and accumu-
lated knowledge over the course of his-
tory. But humans have always lived as
human beings.
This Late Neolithic necklace of stones and
shells reveals not only the artistry and
tastes of the people of the time, but also that
they possessed the necessary technology
to produce such decorative objects.

Pots, a model table, and a spoon dat-
ing to between 7,000 and 11,000
BCE provide important information
about the living standards of people
of the time. According to evolution-
ists, people of that age had only re-
cently adopted a settled lifestyle and
were only just becoming civilized.
Yet these materials show that there
was nothing lacking from these peo-
ple's culture, and that they lived a
fully civilized existence. Just as we do
today, they sat at tables, ate using
plates, knives, spoons and forks,
played host to their guests, offered
them refreshments—and in short, lived regular lives. When the find-
ings are examined as a whole, we see that with their artistic understanding, medical knowl-
edge, technical means and daily lives, Neolithic people lived fully human lives just like those
before and after them.
