A HISTORICAL LIE: THE STONE AGE

Excavation carried out in Pakistan revealed that more than 8,000 years
ago, dentists drilled teeth to remove decay. During the digs, Professor
Andrea Cucina of the University of Missouri-Columbia noticed tiny holes,
around 2.5 mm in diameter, on molars between 8,000 and 9000 years old.
Impressed by the perfection of these holes, Cucina expanded his research by
having his team examine the holes under an electron microscope. They found
that these tiny holes' sides were too perfectly rounded to be caused by bac-
teria. In other words, these were not natural cavities, but the result of artifi-
cial intervention, for the purposes of treatment. None of the teeth showed

any sign of decay. That, as New Scientist magazine put it, "could simply be tes-
timony to the skill of the prehistoric dentists." 24
At this time, according to the evolutionist doctrine, human beings had
only recently diverged from apes. They were living under exceedingly primi-
tive conditions and had only just learned to make earthenware pots, and then
only in certain regions. How did people in such primitive circumstances man-
age to drill such perfect cavities in teeth that required dental treatment, even
though they possessed no technology? Evidently these people were not prim-
itive, and neither were the conditions in which they lived. On the contrary,
they possessed the knowledge to diagnose disease and produce methods of

treatment, and the technical means to use these methods successfully. Once
again, this invalidates the Darwinist claim that societies evolve from the prim-
itive to the modern.
