Proof that Evolution is a Hoax

by David J. Stewart

Recently, a thought captivated my mind that proves that the theory of evolution is a big hoax....The thought is simple and yet profound ... why is there no recorded history before approximately 4,000 B.C.? The answer is obvious ... there was no history! Think about it! Evolutionists claim that man evolved over billions of years (that's billions with a "B"). If there were any truth to these false claims by unscrupulous scientists, then man's historical record should span back at least hundreds-of-thousands of years, if not millions. There is no record of a cataclysmic event that destroyed mankind prior to 4,000 B.C. And if there were, surely some of the survivors would have passed this information down to generations to follow. The Bible dates creation, as we know it today, at approximately 4,000 B.C. Thus, it was approximately 6,000 years ago that God, Jesus Christ, created the heavens and the earth in 6-days. It was 6,000 years ago that Jesus Christ spoke the stars into existence. It was 6,000 years ago that Jesus spoke animals, fish, plants, and land into existence. And it was 6,000 years ago that God formed man out of the dust of the earth.

Such Biblical claims seem absurd to modern evolutionists, who have convinced themselves that the earth is billions of years old. Ironically, they have absolutely NO EVIDENCE of such longevity. Evolutionists have sought out dishonest scientists, who distort the facts, use faulty testing methods, and make erroneous assumptions (unethically stating such assumptions as if they were facts). Evolution is at best still a THEORY. Yet, children are brainwashed in godless public schools all across the world, with evolution, which is taught as if it were a fact. This is evil. It is evil to deny students the Biblical account of creationism. The Word of God makes infinite more sense than the fairytale of evolution.

One of the simplest and best proofs that evolution is a joke, is the FACT that there is NO recorded history prior to 4,000 B.C. The world's history is CLEARY defined by SIX world powers since time began: Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome. Since Rome's fall in 476 A.D., there have been no world-powers (many super-powers; but, no world-powers). At the time of Moses, Egypt ruled the world. The Israelites were used as slave labor by Pharaoh to build the pyramids. Before Egypt, there is absolutely nothing recorded in history about a world-power. It is NO coincidence that Revelation 17:10 speaks of these world-powers, "...five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space." At the writing of Revelation, Rome was still a world-power. The Apostle John, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, tells us that Rome is the 6th world-power, and there is one more to come. The 7th world-power will be the beast system, the kingdom of the antichrist. This diabolical New World Order is quickly forming now (i.e., a universal religious view, global centralized government, a one-world economic system, a cashless society, etc.)....



Something Else to Consider

IF, as evolutionists claim, the earth is billions of years old, and mankind has evolved from a lower and simpler form of life, then why has mankind gone from writing upon stones to laser printers in just the past 3,500 years? When God gave Moses the Ten Commandments, they were written upon stone. It is abundantly clear that the Egyptians carved messages into stone (hieroglyphics). So why is it that mankind has only discovered better inventions in the past few thousand years? If mankind had evolved, as evolutionists claim, then why didn't man discover ink a million years ago? Think about it. This is an astonishing thought--There were NO planes, cars, computers, refrigerators, electricity, lights, gas, powered-equipment, telephones, recording devices, CD players, MP3 players, electric razors, televisions, record players, movie cameras, or a million other modern technological inventions--just a mere 170 years ago. Civilization has advanced from utter primitiveness to incredible mind-boggling achievements in just a little over 100 years. So why didn't mankind discover any of this stuff 100,000,000 years ago, or 100,000 years ago for that matter?

34. Not poop- writer simply misses fact that Bush's America is the 7th World Power of Antichrist
here's the money quote-

"At the writing of Revelation, Rome was still a world-power. The Apostle John, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, tells us that Rome is the 6th world-power, and there is one more to come. The 7th world-power will be the beast system, the kingdom of the antichrist. This diabolical New World Order is quickly forming now.."

You can call the writer on this by simply saying he's correct up to the point he misses fact that the USA under the guidance of Imperialists such as Bush Sr. and his son have forged the 7th world power he's referring to.

We are already IN THAT TIME.

And the candidate he supported ends up being the antichrist's agent.

2. I love it when ignorant schmucks fire up their "common sense".
Edited on Sun Oct-14-07 02:21 AM by Marr
I can't even tell you how many times I've had exchanges with people like this, and they say things that are just too intensely stupid to even acknowledge, thinking they've really come up with some new angle, some unassailable bit of proof. Anyone who could think their arguments sound logical or convincing is just too damn stupid to waste words on anyway.

My personal favorite remains the guy who thinks bananas are proof of intelligent design. "Hey! They fit perfectly in my hand", he says, "god clearly intended me to eat them!".

Well, they fit perfectly up your ASS, too-- but I don't think that's proof that god is a pervert.

There was no recorded history because there was no RECORDING, which is to say nobody had gotten around to inventing writing! Well, DUH!

56. One of my favorite quotes
Written history is at least six thousand years old. -- Will Durant, 1935


That is a quote that should appeal to those who believe the Bible. Curiously, when I used it in my signature line here on DU, the intolerant pseudo leftists belittled it. Oh, how wrong the quote was, I was told. Civilizational History is a lot longer than that, I was told. Scientist now think its 15000 years, I was told. What, are you a creationist(?), I was asked in mocking arrogance.

24. Evidence of older civilizations does exist
But it is ironic that both the fundies and science both reject it.
There is Homers description of Atlantes that he heard form his teacher that got it form a priest in Egypt. And it is confirmed by legends through the world including the Native Americans that say the world has ben destroyed three times in the past.
And there is physical evidence that is also rejected because it does not fit the conclusions of the fundies or science and both are very sensitive about being wrong.
But eventually I think the truth will be known, but It will be traumatic for many as it was I am sure,when the earth was proved not to be flat.

58. The older it gets, the more likely physical "evidence" disappears,
it breaks back down into the earth. There was an old post on DU about how long our current civilization would be detectible, if all the humans were to simply vanish today. I don't remember all the figures given, but at some point, there is no longer physical evidence. Most buildings would last about 50 years...

I looked it up, but not the DU post:
"All things considered, it will only take a few tens of thousands of years at most before almost every trace of our present dominance has vanished completely. Alien visitors coming to Earth 100,000 years hence will find no obvious signs that an advanced civilisation ever lived here."

26. History is only relevant to societies that write and develop

History is only important to societies that have grasped and accepted the concept of long-term change. Many pre-indistricual societies viewed life as cyclic, not progressive. Also most pre-industrial societies passed down their knowledge orally, and oral tradition degrades more quickly than stone.

42. He raises an excellent question with a surprising answer
Man was not man until quite recently. Though humans have had the same jaws and thumbs and brain size for a long time, consciousness, as we think of it today, did not exist until about 30,000 years ago. The subtle brain tissue changes involved do not show up in fossil remains, so if you look at skeletons of people (roughly the same for 100,000 years) it appears mysterious that modern man was static for so long, then exploded quite recently.

This guy is woefully misinformed and has a malignant agenda, but as anti-evolution arguments go it's not bad... at least there's a real mystery to be explained.

When consciousness arose in a population in Ethiopia, they proved to be vastly better at killing the other forms of man that peopled the globe and wiped out all pretenders in short order. That small, wandering population was ancestral to us all.

Molecular biology gives us a good picture of the spread of that population. If a religious person wants to believe that the 30,000 year old modern population was granted reason by God, so be it. It would be better than a lot of stuff they come up with.

Fun Fact to Know: The people who did the amazing cave paintings of Lascaux and Altemira were black. (The neo-conscious Ethiopian cromagnons that supplanted Neanderthals in Europe did so with such rapidity that there had not been time to change skin color in response to European levels of sunlight.)

50. They obsess about evolution being taught in
the public schools....There are many very fine private prep schools in St Louis, I doubt "creationism" is among the course offerings at John Burroughs, MICDS or The Whitfield School.

"Yet, children are brainwashed in godless public schools all across the world, with evolution, which is taught as if it were a fact. This is evil. It is evil to deny students the Biblical account of creationism. The Word of God makes infinite more sense than the fairytale of evolution. "

So there is direct evidence, available to the naked eyball, without any inference or theorizing, that extends prior to 4004 BC.

(Of course, I believe that God created the universe last Friday -- He just made it look old.)

Lascaux is the setting of a complex of caves in southwestern France famous for its cave paintings. The original caves are located near the village of Montignac, in the Dordogne département. They contain some of the most well-known (Upper Paleolithic) art, dating back to somewhere between 15,000 and 13,000 BC. They consist mostly of realistic images of large animals, including aurochs, most of which are known from fossil evidence to have lived in the area at the time. They were added to UNESCO World Heritage Sites list in 1979.

57. His own argument works better against the "Earth is 6,000 years old" myth.
If he believes that humans were created 6,000 years ago with all the mental capabilities that modern humans have (and actually, most of these folks believe humans have degenerated since "the Fall"), why don't we have writings from 6,000 years ago?
