A HISTORICAL LIE: THE STONE AGE
However, it is neither rational nor scientific to describe these
changes as an "evolutionary" process in the way that evolutionists
and materialists do. Just as there are no differences in physical char-
acteristics between a present-day human and someone who lived
thousands of years ago, so there are no differences in regard to intel-
ligence and capabilities. The idea that our civilization is more ad-
vanced because 21st-century man's brain capacity and intelligence
are more highly developed is a faulty perspective, resulting from
evolutionist indoctrination. The fact is people in very different re-
gions today may have different conceptions and cultures. But if a na-
tive Australian may not possess the same knowledge as a scientist
from the USA, that doesn't mean his intelligence or brain haven't de-
veloped enough. Many people born into such societies may even be
ignorant of the existence of electricity, but who are still highly intelli-
gent.
Moreover, different needs have arisen during different cen-
turies. Our standards of fashion are not the same as the Ancient
Egyptians', but that doesn't mean that our culture is more advanced
than theirs. While skyscrapers are symbols of civilization in the 21st
century, the evidence of civilization in the Egyptian period was
pyramids and sphinxes.
What matters is the perspective from which facts are inter-
preted. Someone starting with the preconceived idea that the facts
support a so-called evolutionary development will evaluate all the
information he obtains in light of that prejudice. Thus he will try to
support his assertions with imaginary tales. Based on fragments of
fossil bone, he will conjecture a great many details, such as how peo-
ple living in that region spent their daily lives, their family structures
and their social relations, in a way adapted to that preconception.
