A HISTORICAL LIE: THE STONE AGE
theory of evolution:
In fact, concrete evidence of the inadequacy of the Darwinian hy-
pothesis is to be found in the archeological record. If the Darwinian
package were correct, then we would expect to see the simultaneous
appearance in the archeological and fossil records of evidence for
bipedality, technology, and increased brain size. We don't. Just one as-
pect of the prehistoric record is sufficient to show that the hypothe-
sis is wrong: the record of stone tools. 1
The Fictitious Evolutionist Chronology
In classifying history, evolutionists interpret the objects they
find in line with their own dogmatic theories. The period during
which bronze artifacts were manufactured they call the Bronze Age,
and suggest that iron began being used much more recently—based
on their claim that in the most ancient civilizations, metals were un-
known.
As already mentioned, however, iron, steel and many other
metals quickly oxidize and decay, much faster than stone does. Some
metals such as bronze, which oxidize with much greater difficulty,
may survive for longer than others. It is therefore perfectly natural
that excavated objects made of bronze should be older and those of
iron of a much more recent date.
In addition, it's not logical to maintain that any society able to
produce bronze was unaware of iron, that a society with the techni-
cal knowledge to produce bronze did not use any other metals.
Bronze is obtained by adding tin, arsenic and antimony, with a
small quantity of zinc, to copper. Anyone who creates bronze must
have a working knowledge of such chemical elements as copper, tin,
